Embedded with annual and perennial wildflower seeds, these paper shapes are a fun and interactive way to teach and discuss the seven Principles of Unitarian Universalism. Parents and religious educators will find these seed-paper shapes a wonderful way to engage with the beauty of nature and further a child’s understanding of the seven Principles. Plant at home or at your congregation, or give as appreciation gifts to religious education volunteers. The set includes 35 pieces total, five seed-paper shapes for each Principle.
To grow: Soak shapes in water overnight, then plant under a thin layer of loose soil. Water daily and keep moist until seedlings germinate in 1-3 weeks. Enjoy a beautiful variety of wildflowers!
