Make a bean bed

Getting ready

watering can

Mung bean sprouts love to grow in the dark – so make your seeds a bed to sleep in!

Ask an adult to help you get together these things:

  • empty plastic tray (like a blueberry or tomato tray)
  • slightly larger cardboard fruit or vegetable tray (or a plastic one covered with paper)
  • tablespoon
  • mung bean seeds
  • sieve
  • small bowl
  • cotton wool
  • small watering can or jug
  • large plastic sandwich bag
  • black binbag
  • safe scissors
  • felt tips

TAKE CARE: Keep plastic bags away from babies and small children.
