A seed-containing crayon. The crayon includes an elongated member formed of a marking composition to leave a colored mark on a surface when the elongated member contacts the surface. The marking composition is formed of a wax, a pigment, and a plant nutrient that is activated by application of water to the elongated member. Plant seeds are embedded in the marking composition of the elongated member. The crayon can include a paper band that at least partially surrounds the elongated member along at least part of the length of the elongated member in which the plant seeds are embedded.

The present invention relates to a solid tempera and to the method for manufacturing the same, which includes a dispersion of resin having a concentration value of 10% to 70%, sodium stearate having a concentration of 10% to 20%, glycerine having a concentration value of 4% to 20%, water having a concentration of 7% to 50%, a pigment having a concentration value of 5% to 15%, an anti-foaming agent having a concentration of 1% to 3%, and a biocide having a concentration of 0.10% to 0.4%, the above concentration values relating to the final product. The tempera of the invention is used for painting or drawing on a substrate such as paper, Bristol board, wood or cardboard, being applied directly to said substrates without having to add water.

The present disclosure provides instruments, kits and methods for growing a plant. In some embodiments, a plant producing writing instrument is provided. Such writing instrument may include a housing having a writing end and an opposing non-writing end. In addition, a capsule with one or more seeds may be disposed at the non-writing end of the housing. The capsule may be degradable after placement in a moist soil to release the one or more seeds.
