This little greenhouse can be used to start any seeds. For my Wolf's we used beans since their germination time is quicker than most seeds. By the time next den meeting rolls around each boy should show some type of growth.
Have the boys personalize their greenhouse and have an adult use a knife to cut the window out of the middle. I used half page shipping labels so I could stick the greenhouse onto the sandwich baggie. Using regular paper and taping the outer edges to the baggie works very well also.
Get your paper towel damp and fold so that it will fit within the bottom of the greenhouse. Place your beans/seeds in the last fold and make sure that the sprout will have an exit path within the paper towel. Seal the sandwich baggie and tape your new greenhouse up in your window with the paper greenhouse facing you.
Make sure to check your greenhouse each day a record what you see. What is forming on the side of the baggie? Has anything sprouted?
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
