Sprouting Seeds in Paper Towels

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Sprouting seeds just don’t happen in dirt anymore. You can sprout seeds in a paper towel, in about two to three days, by following some simple instructions. The materials you will need can be found anywhere, and are inexpensive. It does not matter what season it is, you can sprout seeds right now!

Here’s what you need to do first. Buy some growing seeds, a big plastic clear bag, and a plate. (The water and light will be your cheapest ingredient). Make sure the plate will fit inside the clear bag. If the bag is too small to slide the plate in, then you’ll need to find a new plate that’s smaller. Let your toddler help with seeing if the plate to bag ratio will work.

Next, soak the paper towel in water for a few seconds, and gently squeeze out the excess. Children love playing in water, so this would be a great time to grab your camera. Let your assistant flatten out the paper towel, and cover the empty plate with it.

Avoid piling the seeds in one spot onto the wet paper towels. Keep the growing seeds in a single layer and try not to let them touch. Some of the sides will inevitably touch.
