Scotch Egg Seeds

Turn each little cup into a mini pot for growing herbs or flowers. Kids love watching tiny seeds sprout, and you’ll be keeping plastic out of the trash!

1. Clean & Label

   • Rinse the carton well and let it dry.

   • Use a bit of colorful washi tape or a washable marker to write what you’ll plant in each cup (e.g., “Basil,” “Marigold,” “Mint”).

2. Add Soil

   • Fill each cup about ¾ full with potting soil.

   • Leave a little space at the top so seeds have room to grow.

3. Plant Seeds

   • Pop 2–3 seeds into each cup, then gently cover with a thin layer of soil.

   • Give them a light sprinkle of water (just enough to moisten the soil).

4. Find a Sunny Spot

   • Place your carton on a windowsill or anywhere that gets plenty of light.

   • Check daily: if the soil looks dry on top, give it a little drink.

5. Watch & Care

   • Little shoots will pop through in a week or two—perfect for keeping kids curious and excited!

   • Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, you can carefully transplant them (carton and all!) into bigger pots or your garden bed. The carton will break down naturally in soil.

✨ Why it helps:

• Reduces waste: Keeps the carton out of the bin.

• Teaches kids about nature: They learn where food comes from and how plants grow.

• Fresh herbs & blooms: Enjoy the results in your kitchen or in a sunny spot indoors!
