About This Project

Turn an empty egg carton into tiny seed-starting pots. It’s a simple Earth Day activity that teaches kids how plants grow—and it reuses something you’d normally throw away.

Steps

Set up your cartons

Use a pencil or something pointy to poke drainage holes in the bottom of each cell of your egg carton. If you're planting multiple types of seeds, use a marker to write what you planted in the lid of each carton.
