Our little egg heads

The boys made these last Monday.  We cracked the top off the eggs, scooped the guts out, shoved a cotton ball inside, sprinkled seeds on top of the cotton, and watered daily.  Look what happened in just 7 days!  The boys had great fun making these.

Here they are at Day 1.  Mr. Egghead on the left had some sort of tiny ground cover flower seeds (sorry I forgot the name).  They started to spout only after 2 days but never grew very tall.  The middle 2 eggheads had chive seeds which were not very spectacular .  But Mr. Egghead on the right was the most impressive.  We put cat grass seeds in him.  I was really doubtful that anything was going to happen with this one because the seeds were so big.  But within 2 days they started to spout and grew like crazy!

Day 7:  On the left are some sort of small tiny flower seeds and on the right are chives.

Day 7:  The cat grass seeds.
