"Chia" type Pet Egg
Need:
-
Eggshell with the top 1/4 broken off
-
Ring cut from an empty paper towel roll to hold the eggshell
-
3 Damp cotton balls or potting soil
-
1/8 teaspoon alfalfa seeds or grass seed
-
Fine tip markers
Set the empty eggshell in the holder cut from the empty paper towel roll. Draw a face on the eggshell with colored markers. Place damp cotton balls or soil inside eggshell. Sprinkle seeds over the cotton/soil and keep the cotton/soil damp. In two or three days, the seeds will begin to sprout. Put in a sunny spot. As the sprouts grow, your child can give the egg friend a "haircut".
