Teach Responsiblity
-
Teach your kids to be responsible by helping them soak and set up the Chia Pet, then making it their responsibility to keep it watered. This can be a good first step in preparing your children for a real pet. If they keep begging you for a hamster but the Chia isn't surviving, you know they have a lot more work to do.
Start a Chia Collection
-
Start a Chia collection and add humor to your sun room or mud room. Grandchildren will love to visit the Chia collection and will always think of you when they see new Chia Pets on display at the store. You can also accent larger plants by putting a Chia Pet in the soil. The will make your plants look like they are part of an animal-filled jungle.

Chia Cage Decorations
-
Decorate reptile or other animal cages with Chia Pets. The plant-life is not harmful to animals, so there is no risk if they eat the foliage. If you do not want to grow your Chia Pet, you can sink it in a fish tank as a place for fish to hide and swim around.
Grow Other Plants
-
Use your Chia Pet to grow healthy plants on your window sill. Abandon the Chia seeds and instead spread your Chia with alfalfa or wheat grass seeds or grow cat grass for your pet. Also, according to the website Wheat Grass Kits, you can simply grow your Chia seeds and put the greens on your salad. They are safe and healthy to eat.
