Making plantable paper is the ultimate eco-friendly craft and folk art.  Make either a sheet of paper with seeds inside, plant it, water it, watch it grow.  This makes a great gift like plantable gift tags, greeting cards, and party favors.  Spread the love of greening in your favorite garden or patch of dirt!  
 
Option: SEED PAPER BALLS 
Press and squeeze wet paper pulp and seeds together to form a ball, maybe even swinging it around to decrease wetness and get some exercise!
 
Best for ages 7 years +
1 to 1-1/2 hours depending on group size
 
MAKING SHEETS OF PAPER
Why it is INTENSIVE:
Preparation, set-up, and break down takes approximately 40 minutes.  One instructor helps two participants at a time pull sheets of paper from the tub while small groups rotate through a series of "jobs" relying on one or two adults for group management.  Time needed to rotate through the group will vary, and 1-3 adults helping with young folks is suggested.  
 
Some preparation and basic materials are required.
 
Best for ages 5 years to adult
