Getting ready

Bean sprouts love to grow in the dark – so make your seeds a bed to sleep in!
Ask an adult to help you get together these things:

  • empty plastic tray (like a blueberry or tomato tray)
  • slightly larger cardboard fruit or vegetable tray (or a plastic one covered with paper)
  • tablespoon
  • mung bean seeds
  • strainer or colander
  • small bowl
  • cotton wool
  • small watering can or jug
  • large plastic sandwich bag
  • dark trash bag
  • safe scissors
  • felt tips

WARNING: Keep plastic bags away from babies and small children.
