Next week we are going in to S's class to grow 'eggheads' with them all...so we started our own 'eggheads' at home yesterday. You empty an egg shell. Draw a face on one side. Place some wet cotton wool inside and then sprinkle some cress seeds on the cotton wool.
we just checked on our seeds this morning and they are already sprouting!!! :) The children are thrilled :) In a few days the sprouts will push up our of the egg shell like 'hair' for the 'eggheads' and you can cut the 'hair' :) The 'hair' tasts yummy in sandwiches or sprinkled in salads :)
(please note the yellow on the eggshell is NOT yolk - the only eggs I had were the empty shells left over from Easter coloring so I had to wash off the paint and reuse the shells lol....so they were still a little yellow in places lol)!!
