I bought a bonsai kit in May and did every thing from the guide to all four of them. I water them everyday have I have them in my patio not under the direct sun also I live in Florida and it’s very hot right now. Its been a month and a half and 1/4 hasn’t sprouted and I’m worried and don’t know what to do. These pictures I took today of all 4.

First of all you do know that there will grow normal trees out of these seeds, there is no such thing as bonsai seed.
So, because they are normal seeds they need to go through roughly the same process as seeds in nature ( called autumn/winter/spring, or in other words a colder period followed by warmth). As in nature, not all seeds sprout . There is no way of telling how old your seeds are, how they are /were treated, so its fairely normal to have only a few seeds sprouting. Consider yourself lucky, lots of people get none at all

1/4 hasn't sprouted means that 3/4 have sprouted, which is really a pretty good rate.

I planted 10 maple seeds off the tree in the front yard. Eight weeks later none have sprouted, so tell me how you did it?

I did find 12 seedlings in the ground around the tree.

The maple tree dropped seeds all over the yard. I picked up some, put them carefully in a mix of sand and vermiculite, covered them barely, put wire mesh over them to keep the birds and squirrels out, and none of them have sprouted. The seeds I didn't pick up sprouted. I guess I get the black thumb award.
