Kids love finding secret places to play and hide in the garden so why not create one together? With this fun and easy Bean Pyramid project, you can create a wonderous green escape for the kids and a source of yummy beans for the family. It's super easy to do so get started today.

What you need:

• packet of pole bean seeds
• long stakes or bamboo

Activity:

Prepare the bean seeds by soaking them overnight.

Ready the soil of an area 1 metre x 1 metre.

Arrange the stakes in a pyramid shape by leaning the stakes at an angle from the base to meeting at their tips.

Bind the tips of the stakes together with string.
