Children enjoy watching seeds germinate. This is especially the case when seeds germinate quickly. Alfalfa ( Medicago Sativa) is a very easy to grow seed that can grow in about a week. For a chance to observe the seeds grow in the soil, sprinkle a few alfalfa seeds onto a piece of paper towel that is damp.
What you'll need:
Alfalfa seeds are in a package (about 1.5g)
A small saucer or plate
Three pieces of paper towel
A small spray mister or water container
How to Develop
Set 3 sheets of paper towel on a dish.
Remove the water from the plate. The paper towel must be damp but the seeds should not be floating in water.
Distribute the seeds evenly over the towel.
Put the paper towel on a sunny window and then add water to prevent the towel from drying. To moisten seeds, make use of a spray bottle or mister. Or, gently add water into the saucer using a cup or small jug.

Troubleshooting
Alfalfa is an easy to cultivate seed that will be able to germinate in between 2 and 6 days. Here are a few things to watch out for when your seeds fail to germinate in this time.
Too dry. Seeds require water to grow. Alfalfa seeds soak approximately half their weight in water before they germinate. This makes the appearance of swollen. If the seeds you have are dry, they will not germinate. To ensure the seeds don't get sucked up in water, add more water to the plate. You could also soak your seeds overnight. Be sure to remove them and wash them well before transferring them to a towel.
Too moistIf the seeds are damp, their roots and sprouts could begin to rot before they get a chance to develop. Also, it is possible that mould may begin to develop around the seeds. Although it's fine for the paper towel and seeds to remain damp, they shouldn't be submerged in water. The excess water should be removed from the dish each when you water or mist your seeds.
Too cold or hot: The best temperature for alfalfa's growth is 20-25degC. If you are growing your seeds in winter, put them in a warm place inside. If you are growing your seeds in very hot temperatures, you might need to water them more often because they'll dry out quicker.
