Kids-Native Seed Balls Workshop

Got a kid who loves getting messy, building things, and being outside? Then this is a great workshop to learn, have fun & build something to look forward to! 

We’re inviting young nature-lovers to a Native Seed Clay Ball Workshop in the Glassroom on March 19, 2026 at 11:00am where kids will:

- Roll their own clay seed balls packed with native wildflower seeds (like milkweed, purple coneflower, boneset, ironweed & more!)
- Learn why native plants are superheroes for bees, butterflies, birds, & more
- Discover how throwing these seeded mudballs helps local ecosystems thrive

But, the fun doesn’t stop there…

They’ll also engineer their very own mini seed-ball catapult using simple materials like popsicle sticks so that when this snow melts, they can head outside to launch their seed balls into nature (safely and responsibly, of course!).

They’ll also design & build their very own Pollinator Landing Pad using simple materials like a saucer and colorful marbles & rocks glued to the bottom. When they throw their native seed balls into your garden or nature areas, they can find just the right spot to set the pollinator landing pad & fill it with a little water so that when the butterflies & bees start a'buzzin in the spring & summer as the plants bloom, they have a place to rest & refuel. 

This class blends hands-on science, creative building & learning, & FUN
Kids won’t just be playing with mud, they’ll be helping create future pollinator habitats while learning about native plants, conservation, and how small actions make a big difference.
