My kid had a science experiment at school where they added seeds to various substrates (rock, sand, dirt, etc), watered them, and measured whether they sprouted.

My kid was assigned rocks, and brought home his sad cup of rocks the next week asking if I could help the seeds sprout on the rocks. I said I couldn't, that seeds need dirt, but moss or lichen could survive if wet enough.

He then proceeded to gather moss outside and place it on the rock.

Transitions are hard for #toddlers so I threw together a quick #ToddlerScience activity (so that I could turn off the tv without a meltdown 😅)

Various food dye colors in a plastic ice tray, covered with baking soda. On the side, a bowl of vinegar with two pipettes.

We have done this one a few times now, she always enjoys it đŸ‘©â€đŸ”Ź
