Short side note:
Did you ever watch those Chia Plant commercials as a kid? You know, the ones where they sang "ch-ch-ch-chia!" (Wow. I really just dated myself there, huh?) I kept singing it the other day and now my sons are singing it too. The funny things you pass onto your kids...Materials Needed:
- Chia Seeds (We have a whole bag of them because we've been trying to incorporate them into our diet.)
- Potting Soil
- Raw eggs
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
- Egg Carton
- Sharpie Markers
How to Grow Chia Egg Heads:
Step 1:Place your raw egg on a cutting board and slice off the top. Pour out the insides (and eat, yum!) and rinse out your eggshells.
Step 2:
Once your eggshells are dry, decorate them using Sharpies!
Step 3:
Fill your eggshells with potting soil and a lot of chia seeds.
Step 4:
Water your eggs and place them near a window sill.
Step 5:
Watch and wait. Your egg heads will grow green and lush within a week!
(Note: Don't overwater them. Your chia plants will die. We learned this the hard way. RIP, little guys.)
