My Grandson has a school project that must involve the number 100 so we made a 10x10 grid from blotting paper with 100 cress seeds that we can watch grow. The blotting paper seems to dry out too easily and I would suggest kitchen roll paper instead. We started on Sunday and filmed it until Wednesday night so we have 3 and a bit days of growth. I put some seeds on wet tissue paper at the same time and they grew twice as fast. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here.

OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
