Science 101 - growing onion in a mug

Last year, me and the kids (my sons, nephew and niece) planted a few seeds and grow some vegetables in my parent's backyard, for learning purposes. It was hard for the kids to keep track of its growth and the worst thing was our neighbour's cats keep playing on the plants' buds.

This time, I took a few mugs which my dad wants to throw away for good and grow some onions. They can see it grow and the best part is the mugs are movable. They can put it on the table, on the microwave or anywhere else in our dining hall since it receives direct sunlight.
I put bamboo sticks for them to keep track of the growth. So far so good. When it is getting bigger, shall we move it into a jug?
