tiny pots for my grand daughter

i did some quick  tiny pots for Sophia my grand daughter she is just starting to enjoy being out doors and loves watering plants for her mummy and daddy . i put chives in the pot for her so they are safe if she try's to eat them
 i know she loves to pull flower heads off lol  well thats what little ones do isn't it
it can stand at the side of her play house and im sure if the chives get chance to grow her daddy will put them to good use in his cooking
 i have done another one  but have to get the seeds  to go in this one for her not sure which to get yet might get cress
