Pollinator Seed Balls Recipe

​Pollinators-bees, butterflies and hummingbirds, as well as other flying critters, play a crucial role to our food supply and ecological survival.  This activity is a fun way to help our pollinator friends find a food source, as well as allow them to do their work of transferring pollen grains from one flower to another.

​Two Cups Potting Soil
One-Cup Dry Clay (Powered Red Pottery Clay)

Cookie Sheet and wax paper for drying see balls
