Seed Sprouts

What to do:

  1. Use unbreakable clear containers, such as plastic disposable cups.
  2. Have children fill them partway with dirt.
  3. Use large seeds such as peas or corn, and ask children to plant the seeds so they are visible through the side of the container.
  4. Watch as you water and the seeds sprout.
