Growing a garden is a great experience for kids. It’s a real-life and hands-on way to learn about how plants grow. Watching a small seed transform into a sprout and then a plant is a magical experience for kids. Sprouting seeds indoors is a great way to bridge that gap from the beginning of spring until the cold weather has passed. Once it’s safe to plant a garden outdoors, these DIY Seed Starter Pots for the Classroom are the perfect place to begin!
