Seeds are a favorite of children as they germinate. This is true especially when seeds are sprouting quickly. Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa) is a straightforward to grow seed that should sprout in around a week. For a chance to observe the seeds grow you can sprinkle some alfalfa seedlings on a sheet of damp paper towel.

A packet of seeds from alfalfa (about 1.5g)
a saucer or small plate
Three paper towels
A small spray mister or water container
How to grow

Troubleshooting
Alfalfa seeds are easy to grow and should germinate within 2-6 days. If the seeds fail to germinate within this timeframe there are a few factors that could have gone wrong:
Too dry: Seeds require water in order to develop. Alfalfa seeds suck up about own weight in water before getting germinated, making them appear swollen. Seeds that aren't dry enough won't grow. Add more water to the plate to make sure that the seeds are moist but not floating on the surface. You could also soak your seeds overnight. Make sure you drain them and rinse them well before transferring them onto a paper towel.
Too wet:If the seeds are too moist, the new roots and shoots could rot before they have a chance to develop. It is also possible that mould could begin to grow around the seeds. It's acceptable for the paper towel to get wet, but the seeds shouldn't be floating on water. Every time you water or mist the seeds, drain any excess water.
Too cold or hot Alfalfa thrives at 20-25°C. If you're cultivating your seeds in winter, put them in a cool spot indoors. If you're cultivating your seeds in very hot temperatures, you might need to water your seeds more often since they'll dry out more quickly.
