Making Seed balls

Teaching Notes: 
  • The recipe for seed balls uses flour. Seed balls work best when they are made with clay. Seehttps://climatekids.nasa.gov/seed-ball/ for a recipe.
  • We substituted flour for clay, given that many people won’t have easy access to clay athome. If you have clay, feel free to use it and follow the recipe linked above.
