Introduction
The Ladybirds can plant seeds and watch them grow.
Leaders Notes
Soak the seeds overnight, this will help them sprout sooner
Instructions

2. Use 6/8 Cotton wool balls, wet them and place into the Ziploc
bag
3. Gently place your seeds on top of the cotton wool.
4. Zip the bag shut and staple it to the sprout house
5. Tape the House to a window that gets lots of light and watch
your seeds “sprout”
6. You can unzip the bag to add some water, if you notice the
cotton wool is drying out.
