Next I found some of Grandma’s Kapoks. Kapok is a plant that grows here. Its seeds get all fluffy like wool. Once they’ve gotten fluffy enough you pick them then take all the seeds out of the soft wool. We use it to make pillows but it takes a long time and a lot of work to get all of the seeds out.
What did sailors once use kapok for?
Ask your grandparents if they ever had kapok pillows or mattresses.
What else could you use kapok for?
No - not his stuffing. Actually that is what the kapok looks like and yes, it could be used for stuffing.
