I have never started a worm bin but I know teachers that have and the kids really enjoy learning about it. The kids love watching the seed sprout! You can talk about the plant life cycle and also learn the responsibility of taking care of a living thing. Once the seed sprouts you can transfer them to potted soil. Just get seeds, put a wet napkin in the bag and a few holes to the top of the bag for air, then add your seeds and hang on a clothing line in front of the window.
