Things You'll Need:
- Scissors
- Crayons
- Eggs
- Pipe cleaners
- Kitchen Knives
- Construction Paper
- Grass Seeds
-
Step 1
Cut the tops off several uncooked eggs by gently cracking the shell around the narrow end with the blade of a kitchen knife. The shell should break away clean at that point so you will have deep shells perfect for planting. Use or save the eggs for cooking.
-
Step 2
Rinse the shells with fresh water and allow them to dry for a day or so.
-
Step 3
Fill the clean, dry shells with fresh potting soil.
-
Step 4
Sprinkle grass seed or any type of small seed on the surface of the soil.
-
Step 5
Water the seeds using a spray mist bottle each day. In a few days, the grass will sprout and begin to grow.
-
Step 6
Draw faces on the shells with crayons, felt-tip pens or paint once the grass (or "hair") is growing lush.
-
Step 7
Use pipe cleaners or paper cutouts to make glasses or silly neckties.
