Adaptive tip

Peas are large seeds and are easy to handle and sow for those with poorer dexterity. In this activity they can easily be dropped onto the compost and pushed gently down with a fingertip – either in rows or more haphazardly – depending on ability. No tools required. Provides good exercise in fine motor control and hand-eye co-ordination.
