Art Club: plants

For Earth day last month we did a really fun art club. At our library, we have a Keurig machine for the coffee (we are working on changing this) I had been trying to think of a way to recycle the cups from the machine and I came up with the idea of using the leftover cups as seed starters! In this idea, we were doing some recycling and also planting some seeds. It is a nice art club to do something for the earth and also it is pretty easy!
Here is the needed supply list: soil, seeds, water, mist bottle, k-cups, egg cartons to put the k-cups in, and a nice sunny window. You will also need to mark the k-cups with what you put in them. I am also hoping to get another art club out of this one, as we planted pumpkins and hope to use these pumpkins for an art club in October. It is also important to remember that a success rate is not guaranteed, but it is fun to get some little sprouts!

Here is a picture of the pumpkins so far! So cute! Dawn states: starting seeds is a nice way to help the earth on any day, not just earth day.
