The learning connection
By physically creating seed bombs, kids engage in embodied cognition, linking the act of planting with environmental impact. This tangible connection helps them understand how individual actions contribute to broader ecological health.
Try it with your learner
1. Gather 1 cup of clay soil, 1 cup of compost, and 1 cup of wildflower seeds. 2. Mix all three ingredients in a bowl until combined. 3. Add a small amount of water to help form a dough-like consistency. 4. Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a marble. 5. Let the seed bombs dry for 24 hours in a cool, shaded area. 6. Once dry, throw them in bare soil during the next rain — watch them grow!
