This hands-on project engages children in embodied cognition by allowing them to physically create and interact with materials. The act of mixing soil, seeds, and clay helps reinforce their understanding of environmental stewardship as they visualize the impact of their actions.
1. Gather 1 cup of clay, 1 cup of compost, and 1 cup of native seeds. 2. In a bowl, mix the clay and compost together with your hands until well combined. 3. Add the seeds to the mixture and blend gently. 4. Form small balls about the size of a marble with the mixture. 5. Let the seed bombs dry for 24 hours in a cool, shaded area. 6. Plant them in your garden or share with neighbors — watch them grow!
