Actual size of a 4" x 4.5" piece
of toilet tissue
 Supplies
needed
-
Toilet paper, torn in strips of two squares two per
child.
-
seeds
-
ruler
-
marker
-
tweezers
1. Fold a strip of toilet paper in half along
the tear line (so you have a double square).
2. Using a ruler and an ink pen (pencil will tear
the paper) make a grid of dots one inch apart. There will be about 12 dots
on the average piece of toilet paper. With older kids: have them
measure the toilet paper square and determine how many seeds it will hold
assuming the seeds are placed 1" from the edge and 1" apart. Is all
toilet tissue the same size?
Younger kids can lay a piece of toilet paper over
the graph and trace the dots.
3. Lay out the strips and spray lightly with water.
You want the paper damp, not sopping wet.
4. Using the tweezers, place a seed on each dot.
5. Carefully, place a separate folded strip
of toilet tissue over the seeds (you now have four layers of tissue Place
one seed on each drop of glue.
6. Lightly spray the top lay of tissue and gently
press it down.
7. Allow the sandwich to dry completely then cut
into seed squares to plant.
