Sprout is a pencil that wants to be a plant when it grows up. When it’s too short to use, plant Sprout to grow herbs, flowers and more!. It is a successfully funded project of Kickstarter and a nice example of design for behavior change
Sprout is a pencil with a seed inside. When it’s too short to use, it can be planted at home, at the office, or in the classroom , it can be planted to grow into a wonderful flower, herb, or vegetable. If you’re really excited to plant Sprout, you can do so before it’s too short.
The seed capsule is water activated, the first few times you water Sprout dissolves the protective capsule and starts the seed’s germination. The pencil shaft can be kept in the soil as a helpful labeled planting marker or it can be removed.
Sprout started as a graduate product design course at MIT and they were tasked with creating a product for the eco-friendly office of the future. These guys came up with Sprout! While Sprout is eco-equivalent to a standard pencil, it’s a nice way to reconnect with our environment. They are particularly excited about getting Sprout into the hands of kids, getting them off the street and into the garden!
