Seed Envelopes
Cost per student: $.15, but that includes the cost of permanent markers which would last 2-3 years
Materials: Permanent markers, laminate scraps (the laminating machine most schools have create a 6”x18” strip of waste every time they are used; it is built into the design of the machine. The librarian kindly saved the waste strips for me until I had enough), stapler, hole punch, yarn or ribbon scraps, newspaper, water, pipettes or droppers, paper towels, seeds you’ve soaked overnight.
Prep: besides soaking the seeds to give them a jumpstart on life, I made envelopes out of the laminate by folding an 8”x10” piece, in half, then turning in the edges, then stapling each side so it will hold water. See photos for a better idea.
Students will create an arty transparent envelope, used to sprout a seed.
Elements of art: Line, shape, color, form
Vocabulary: sprout, transparent
