Yogurt Cups: What to do with them

There are tons of yogurt cups out there floating around. Depending on where you live, your recycling center may or may not accept these as recyclable items. Well, either way, yogurt cups are a gem for teachers. They are basically reusable cups that can be used in the classroom in various ways. Here's one example I found on Martha Stewart's Wholeliving.com. Pictured above are yogurt cups reused as veggie, herb, and/or flower seed pots.

According to the site:

Instead of recycling (or even worse, throwing away!) yogurt cups, reuse them for planting vegetable, herb and/or flower seeds! I used a steak knife to cut small triangles in the bottom of the cups for drainage holes. This step is very important. Fill the cup 3/4 full with potting soil, sprinkle seeds on top, then cover with a thin layer of potting soil (the seed packets will tell you how much they need to be covered), and water thoroughly.

Making little soil cups is an easy activity for children to do and also teaches them about reusing familiar items around the house. If you don't have room outside to build a classroom garden, this is a simpler way to grow something indoors.
