How to grow and ID a pine tree

My kids were given these tree growing kits. We got one last year too but the seed never did anything. The directions say to soak for 24 hours, which we did with that one. But I'm wondering if other things need to be done.

Also the card even says there are 35 species of pine trees in North America and then doesn't even bother to sit which species this is. We don't have any pines in the area so I don't know if anyone can tell anything from the seed.

Any suggestions?

Sometimes if a seed is too old it won't do anything.  I wonder if the kit was old when your kid got it?  That's such a bummer it didn't work though.

To me that seed looks rather big so I would suggest looking at the larger variety of pine trees.

looks a lot like a pinyon seed, but i’m sure there are others that look similar.

I looked at the nature-watch site and it implies that the seeds may be Italian stone pine. They look lovely and big. If I were to guess I'd say Korean pine. It really does matter if you want to plant a tree though!

Tree seed online have a spreadsheet for tree seed pretreatment here. It looks like most pine need a 24 hour soak, then near boiling water (many need fire?) then 6 weeks prechill. So I would suggest that. Putting in the refrigerator is usually a good temperature to simulate winter chill. Some sites seem to recommend surface sowing, but I'd be worried the seeds would dry out.
