What kind of seeds can I give to kids to plant in a cup?

Beans are a good one, also sunflowers- the pre-K and kindergarten classes at my school did both of these and had a blast! A fun thing to do is put the kind of plant on a notecard, glue the notecard to the popsicle stick, and stick it in the soil, gives it more of a "garden" feel, and they know what they are growing!

Bean seeds grow really fast in small cups. We did one in science this year and it grew full in about 1 1/2 weeks. Just don't overwater it or forget to water it!!

My kids always loved drawing faces on styrofoam cups and planting grass seed. They sprout in about 7 days, and can be made into mohawks, crew cuts, or full-blown wild hair.

Zenias are very easy to grow and can be put in a cup of potting soil.

Beans or peas of any kind are great for this. Corn is good, too.

You want seeds that are large enough to see and handle easily, and that will germinate quickly.

My 2.5 year old loves the immitation crab meat! He is picky lately and on a whim had him try it, now every time we pass the seafood center at the market he asks for crabbie. It is made of mostly white fish and it is a little sweet, I think that is why he likes it. You can serve it cold, it maked a good finger food. Good luck.

well if you want fast I would do some kind of bean seeds or a small flower seed.

Marigolds. They are very tough and the kids can transplant them in their own gardens.

Lima beans.
