Children are fascinated by watching seeds sprout. This is especially the case when seeds sprout quickly. Alfalfa is an easy-to-grow plant that can be sprouting within one week. For a chance to observe the seeds grow in the soil, sprinkle a few alfalfa seeds over a piece of wet paper towel.

What you'll need
A packet of seeds from alfalfa (about 1.5g)
A small plate or saucer
Three pieces of paper towel
A spray mister or a small water jug


How to grow:
Make sure to wet three pieces of paper towels, then put them on top of each other flat on a table.
Then drain the water off the plate. The paper towel should be wet but the seeds should not be floating in water.
Place the seeds in a uniform manner on the towel.
To prevent the paper towel from drying out, put it on a sunny windowill filled with water. To dampen seeds, utilize a spray bottle or mister to do so. Or, gently add water to the saucer by using an ice cube or small jug.
Every day, check your seeds to determine how they are developing.

Just make sure to remove them from the dish and wash them well before transferring them onto a paper towel.

Too wet:If the seeds are too moist, the new roots and shoots may rot before they have a chance to grow. The seeds can also become moldy.
