They are easy (3 ingredients) and inexpensive and we’ve got two ways to package them. After you make a batch you simply toss the seed bombs anywhere there is dirt… along the side of the road, in an open field etc. The next time it rains they will dissolve, and before you know it there will be a little more beauty in the world.

So show the earth some love! They also make great gifts you can give with our free appropriate poem or tags below.  Looking for more Earth Day ideas? Check out our DIY World Clock for Earth Day.blank630x20Free Earth Day Printable Quizblank630x20

blank630x20Instructions for Seed Bombs

NOTE: If the clay is a firmer variety you will need to add in a few drops of water to help you knead and shape it.

  • Roll a small 1 1/2″ ball of white air dry clay.
  • Flatten it out and add a scant 1 tsp. of potting soil.
  • Knead the soil into the clay.
  • Flatten it again and add approximately 1/4 tsp. seeds.
  • Knead the seeds into the clay.
  • Shape into hearts and allow to dry.

Toss the seed bombs anywhere appropriate where there is dirt. The next time it rains it will dissolve.

      So sorry for the delay Julinn… I’ve been on the road… It all depends on the size you make your bombs and the size of the clay. Would be hard to guess I’m afraid. It’s been a while and I can’t remember how much I used and what was left. Sorry!

    Please let me know if I can use Sculpey EZ modeling clay. They say on the pkg. it won’t dry out. I have to make lots so trying to keep price down. Thanks, Ann

      Hi Ann! I’m afraid Sculpey no dry (or the kind you bake) won’t work. It has to be air dry clay. The Sculpey won’t dissolve when it rains or gets wet. Not sure if you shop in amazon but they have a 5 lb bucket for $14 http://amzn.to/1XEe0fc Another idea is if you have a Michael’s Craft or Hobby Lobby store every week they have a 40% off coupon. You can get some really good deals that way! Good luck. Hope you find something that works for you!

        Thanks Nancy for the quick reply. I love the idea of seed bombs for the kids. I am also trying the seeds on paper that has been in a blender with water to make a mash that’s dried. Thanks for sharing.
