How to make your own plantable pencil

How to make your own plantable pencil

(0)
I have a dream. I want all pencils used in schools to contain tree or other plant seeds. I want children to use plantable pencils. I have developed my own very cheap, simple plantable pencils which could be made and used in the classroom. All you will require are: Some pasta with a hole in the middle, the width of a pencil School pencil Seeds A school book label which will be cut in half. From these simple resources, you will be able to make a plantable seed pencil. The children can then develop the idea. How can it be improved? How can it be decorated? What are the positives and benefits of such an idea. It is also a great tool for using in science when you wish to get childre to grow things in pots, as the pencil of course makes an instant label. Teachers and pupils who have already tried this have given me very positive feedback. The pencils I am using in the video are 100% recycled paper pencils - but any pencil will work perfectly well.
