An Egg-cellent Idea

Okay....so some of you might already know what a dangerous thing it is for Corey to peruse the pages of Wondertime Magazine. The evidence is here.....and don't forget HERE. I think those posts speak for themselves fairly well, but let's just say.....things don't always go well when I take one of their "bright ideas!"

Sometime in May, while flipping through Wondertime, I saw a great idea for making little planters out of egg shells. Being the ever creative person I am, I decided to go with my "Wondertime Theme" and make Egg Heads using egg shells, soil, and grass seed. I mean we simply can not get enough of organic, earth friendly heads now can we? Am I right or am I right, or am I right? RIGHT!

So we started off with carefully cracking eggs one morning for breakfast, and creating two "planters". Then we filled them with soil.



I borrowed some grass seed from my brother, as I was not buying a huge thing of seed for this tiny project. As it was....he insisted on giving me WAY more than I needed.



Sugar Bear carefully pinched some seed, and lovingly placed it in the "planters".



This was a great activity for working on fine motor skills. She spilled some, but since we had more than plenty it wasn't anything to worry about.



One thing Sugar likes to do is to carefully inspect her work as she goes. As serious as she was during this task....I assure you, she was having a good time.



Once sufficient seeds were atop the soil, Sugar sprinkled them with some water.

Sprinkling things with water is one of Sugar's favorite pastimes, so we MIGHT have added a bit too much water.....maybe.....



We shall see! When finished we gave them a place of honor on the kitchen window sill where they could get plenty of light, and the waiting game began........
