Seed Ball Making Activity Kit With Bee Friendly Wildflower Seeds

If you're buying for kids, teenagers or adults who enjoy crafting, getting messy in nature or who love bees, butterflies, bugs and gardening, this is a top present!

The kit includes all the ingredients needed to make 50-60 wildflower seed balls - all that's needed is a mixing bowl, some water and a tray to dry the balls on. Making seed balls can take from approximately 20 minutes to an hour depending on dedication to rolling perfection!

Once dried, the balls can be scattered in garden beds, window boxes or balcony pots and with water, warmth and time, they will transform into beautiful British wildflowers that support bees, butterflies and other garden wildlife. 50-60 balls will cover 2 square metres in a garden bed or plenty of pots and planters.

The benefit of growing wildflowers from seed balls (sometimes called 'seed bombs') instead of loosely scattering seed is to protect the seeds from birds, ants and mice who all feed on seeds - providing an educational aspect to the product too.
