Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
- green kitchen sponge (new)
- alfalfa or grass seed
- pie tin or dish
- water
-
Step 1
Cut a new green colored kitchen sponge into the shape of a shamrock. Generously soak the sponge in water, then gently squeeze out the excess liquid.
-
Step 2
Place the sponge on a pie tin or wide dish. Sprinkle alfalfa seed or grass seed over the entire sponge.
-
Step 3
Keep the sponge moist with daily watering by pouring water all around the sponge; not on top. (When my kids 'grew' their shamrocks, we covered the sponge every night with saran wrap until they sprouted) During the daylight hours keep the sponge in a sunny area.
-
Step 4
Within a few days the seeds will begin to sprout then grow into a shamrock just in time for St. Patrick's Day!
