 This is a fun project for Earth Day, Easter, or just about any spring day you can think of! No fancy materials are needed. With just an eggshell, a little soil and some seeds, you can grow your own egghead.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

 

If you wish, decorate your strip of card stock. We flecked some yellow and blue paint onto ours with an old toothbrush. Tape or glue the card stock into a ring to hold the egg. 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.

6. Carefully water so as not to overflow or soak it.
7. Keep in a sunny location.
8. Your seeds will begin to sprout in a day or two and your egghead will grow "hair" in about a week!
9. If you like, you can decorate the outside of the egg with a black marker by drawing a face on your egghead.

Tips:

• Use a small measuring spoon to scoop the soil and add it to the egg. Use a small spoon to add the seeds as well.
• If you have cats, wheat seed grows thick wheat grass and is a tasty and nutritional addition to their diet. It also aids in food digestion!
• You can also use an egg carton to sprout any kind of seeds that you like. Some seeds that sprout quickly and grow easily are green beans and radishes.
