Projects
Pinecone Bird Feeder
Birds need high-energy food, especially in cold weather — you can help feed your local birds.
Fallen Leaf Ghost Parade
A leaf hunt becomes a ghost-making session, with each leaf's shape suggesting a different character. Children sort and compare leaves, learn to name a few trees and notice why leaves fall in autumn.
Pumpkin Seed Scientists
Scooping out a pumpkin becomes a science lesson: guess how many seeds are inside, count them in tens, test which ones sink or float, and save some to grow next spring. It covers estimating, counting and how plants make seeds.
Leaf & Bark Rubbings
Rubbing reveals the hidden textures — veins on leaves, ridges on bark.
Eggshell Cress Heads
Seeds need only damp cotton and light to sprout — and cress grows fast enough to watch.
🔒 PremiumSeed Bombs
Wildflower seeds wrapped in soil can be planted with a throw — and help bees and butterflies.
Bean in a Jar
Seeds sprout roots and shoots — you can watch a plant begin, up close.
🔒 PremiumWormery in a Jar
Worms mix and tunnel through soil — you can watch them build layers and help the garden.
