Thanks for your responses! The activity went great..DD loved it!  Now she is taking seeds out of everything and wanting to plant them ;)  it was actually the nurse that called.  We've had numerous issues with the teacher so not sure if it was her idea or not- but was very pleased that someone asked me first :thumbsup:

Yup.

What she said.  Without demonstrated issues with legumes and contact sensitivity, this one is a-okay.   :yes:  Kudos to the teach for asking you.

The project as you describe given PA only, for botanical projects that are plant life cycle I've always ok'd it--enthusiastically, actually. But legumes outside of peanut have neither proven themselves to be an issue and the exploration of botanical science IMO is a far cry from the consumptive add-ons most food projects in school are.

DD's teacher called this morning and wanted to know if it was ok for her to handle (NOT EAT) Lima beans for a class project.  I believe it is for science/planting.  DD won't eat beans at home, but has touched them occasionally at home without problems.  I am assuming this would be okay...does anyone else have any experience regarding other legumes? Thanks!!
