Making some spring egg heads!
Start with some egg shells. The easiest thing to do is to just break open the top of the egg and rinse the shells out with some warm water. (I did this on a Saturday morning and had some wonderful scrambled eggs for breakfast before doing this craft.
An egg carton makes a great holder for these little guys. I added some faces for fun then let my daughter fill them with potting soil.
Bonus: when you are tired of these little guys growing in your house you can throw them out knowing that they are 100% biodegradable!
I use rye grass seed for these spring grass projects because it is fast growing! Don't be intimidated by how big the seeds are. (Plus my mother-in-law always buys a bag of it for her Easter center piece so she has extra to share with me).
My daughter sprinkled the seeds in and we gave it a little water and we waited....
After 5 days......
After 2 weeks......
The first "hair cut".....
Here is another way I use my grass seed. I plant it in a shallow dis and it grows into a thick lush grass, then I put a little ceramic bunny in it and it makes a great table centerpiece.
