What you'll need:
Clean eggshell with just the top broken off
Half a cup of potting soil
Teaspoon of grass, wheat or rye seed
Five to six inch strip of card stock
Scissors
Glue or tape
Black marker (optional)
How to make it:
If you wish, decorate your strip of cardstock. We flecked some yellow and blue paint onto ours with an old toothbrush.
Tape or glue the cardstock into a ring to hold the egg.
Use a small spoon to fill the egg almost to the top with potting soil.
Sprinkle the soil with seed.
Add a thin layer of potting soil on the top.
Carefully water so as not to overflow or soak it.
Keep in a sunny location.
Your seeds will begin to sprout in a day or two and your egghead will grow "hair" in about a week! (See photo.)
If you like, you can decorate the outside of the egg with a black marker by drawing a face on your egghead.
