Chia Pet was fun.
Supplies:
knee high stocking, 1/8/ cup grass seed, 1 1/2 cups of vermiculite, three small (nickel-sized) rubberbands, two wiggly eyes, low heat glue with gun & 1 plastic cup.
Put toe of stocking in bottom of cup and stretch stocking up and over outside of cup.
Place grass seed in toe of stocking. Start with 1 cup of vermiculite and pack in, add remainder vermiculite. Pull stocking up from outside of cup, work the vermiculite into a ball shape. Pull stocking taut to make knot (it becomes the bottom of head). Pull some of the contents to the each side securing with rubber band to make the ears one on the front for a nose. Glue two eyes on to complete. Saturate the ball with water, wait 1-3 days for seed germination to sprout.
Glass Jar Seed Display
Using several different types and color of seeds, layer the seeds of same kind in rows until jar is filled. Cut a fabric square and secure with raffia. Quote to attach: Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. Robert Louis Stevenson.
Cone Display of Seeds
This is great to help give direction to Cubs if they complete what you are working on as a group. Have them use a low temp glue gun to create a pattern of a few rows. Once they have it completed, you can display at the Pack Meeting. Give each Den one to complete and have their own display at Pack Meeting.
