Garden in a Glove

To find a project that helps kids learn about seeds, use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger. A few days after planting, learners will see the seeds begin to sprout in the glove. Use this activity to show how the germination process works.

  1. Some excellent tips. I remember when I was a kid my mom made gardening fun. She included me and my brother in the garden whether it was planting seeds, watering the soil, or basic maintenance like weeding. Gardening is an important skill to have and I like some of the ideas you mentioned. What kid wouldn’t want to give these a try? Personally, I would star the kids off young, but just be careful they don’t pull up plants like Carolyn’s kids did LOL.
