Egghead Eggshell Planter By: Amanda Formaro Age: 5 and up
Parental supervision is recommended No fancy materials are
needed. With just an eggshell, a little soil and some seeds, you
can grow your own planter. It's the ultimate in eco-friendly
craft ideas! 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 - 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
