Random fact about Megan and I, we worked at a Dinosaur Museum for years and had to blow out the insides of eggs frequently (hundreds of eggs each no joke) for kids to make their own dinosaur eggs. We never thought that skill would come in handy but boy were we wrong. Enter having our own kids and Easter.
So, to get a blown out egg you simply use a push pin to poke a hole in the top and bottom of an egg. Then you put your mouth on one end and blow all the egg out. Rinse, and your egg is ready.
With this project you could probably get away with using regular eggs that you crack and use and then rinse out but we blew ours out and then took off the tops in order to make little containers to plant seeds in.
Anyhow. Get your eggshells however you like and make sure the openings are big enough to put dirt inside.
Put a few spoonfuls of dirt into each egg.
Place a few grass seeds in each egg.
Cover the seeds with a spoonful or two more of dirt.
Place in a sunlit area and keep moist. We have been using a spray bottle to water ours.
We are waiting for ours to grow grass before we draw faces on the eggs with marker but in hindsight that might have been a better idea before we planted anything inside of them.
Wait for your grass to grow and make "hair" on your little egg friends.
We'll add more photos once we get something to grow. :) Fingers crossed as the kiddos are pretty excited about seeing something come out of those eggs.
