I have seen a little wooden thingy about 2" diameter. You wrap news paper around it to form a pot. I always though you could use a small jar or glass and do the same thing. Never tried it, though. You can use egg cartons or even half an egg shell. If it is a cardboard carton, you don't have to remove the plant; just plant the whole thing.
many things can be a seedling pot, the cor of a tp roll, or core of paper towel, newsprint, yougurt cups, dixie cups. If it holds water and dirt it’s fare game.
Used K-cups are great for starting seeds - using the remaining coffee grounds, which have nutrients that seedlings love. Just add enough seed starter or potting soil to fill the rest of the cup and add 1-2 seeds per cup. Transplant after they reach 2-3" tall.
SO many things can be used! Old egg cartons, egg shells (but I always seem to break them when putting soil in them), old ice cube trays and you don't have to use items that are partitioned off. Using old Rubbermaid containers, muffin tins, etc. Have fun! :)

Great answer from Pung61. You can use a marker on the same spoon you used and "name" the row you planted your seedlings in. "lettuce", "Spinach" etc.

You can use the small yogurt containers, the tubes from tin foil, wax paper, etc.
