Little Green Thumbs: Seed Balls

Get your students outside and growing with this simple, hands-on activity! Seed balls combine science, sustainability, and creativity as students mix clay, compost, and seeds to create their own mini ecosystems. Once dry, these seed balls can be tossed into gardens or natural spaces, where rain activates growth—making it an engaging way to explore plant life cycles, environmental stewardship, and the importance of pollinators.
