Bring some green into your classroom by creating a miniature nursery.
Planting Always try to have items donated - most businesses are more than happy to help out.
These are small plastic containers that come fastened together at perforations and can then be separated. Plastic or paper will both work just fine, but keep in mind that paper will eventually begin to break down when watered. You will want to sterilize any plastic containers by dipping them in a solution of one part bleach to 20 parts water. This will kill off any bacteria or micro-organisms that may want to attack your new plants. The only materials you should need to purchase for this activity are the seeds to plant and a starting mix to plant them in.
