In reply to Kiley. Hmm. . . I have no idea what to suggest as we did not have any problems. Perhaps there is a climate difference between where we did the activity (California) and where your team did the activity that makes a difference. Or perhaps your team kept the sponges wetter than we did and it lead to mold?

I suggested this to our Elementary team and they said that it took forever to grow and the sponges got moldy before they grew. Any ideas? Thanks. I would still love to try and do this.

In reply to Jennifer. I bet those seeds would work as well. Your tree might have a slightly different look due to how different seeds sprout, but I imagine the effect would still be cool!

Eek, this is so cool! I wonder if alfaalfa sprouts or broccoli seeds would work (that’s what I have on hand).
