Students in Elizabeth Kievit’s first-grade class had the chance to create wildflower seed balls to bring home for Mother’s Day.
To prepare the seed balls, students flattened clumps of clay, and then sprinkled soil and seeds on top. The ball was carefully rolled into a ball and then covered in a final coating of soil.
When planted outside, the exterior wrapping of soil and clay protects the seed from dying out, washing away, or eaten by birds.
