Making seed bombs teaches children about plant growth and biodiversity while promoting environmental stewardship. This hands-on activity transforms waste materials into valuable green resources, fostering a deeper connection with nature.

1. Collect 1 cup of dried clay powder, 1 cup of compost, and 1 cup of wildflower seeds. 2. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl until well combined. 3. Gradually add water, mixing until the mixture is damp but not wet. 4. Form small balls (about the size of a marble) with your hands. 5. Place the balls on a tray to dry for at least 24 hours. 6. Once dry, toss them in a bare patch of soil or a neglected area outside!
