Comparing Seeds

In this activity children explore some of the different types of seed that we eat. Children begin by looking at a range of dried seeds, comparing their size, colour, texture, and shape. Younger children then make maracas using some dried seeds and milk/juice bottle lids. Older children can make maracas or use the seeds in other craft projects, including making mosaics. This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.
