Set out a bowl of seeds, and have your child place a teaspoon of seeds in a bag.
Alfalfa or mung bean seeds work best.
Zip the bag closed and have your child place the bag in a bowl of warm water.
Soak the seeds overnight.
The next day, have your child take the bag out of the water and let it drain, then let it sit in indirect sunlight the rest of the day.
For the next few days, have your child dunk their bag in water for a few seconds, then drain and again set in indirect light.
On the fourth day, have your child set the seeds in the sun.

Have children watch the sprouts turn green.
These sprouts can be eaten by sprinkling them on top of a green salad or on top of cream cheese spread on crackers!
