Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Eggshell Garden
eggshells
seeds
potting soil
egg carton
container to mix soil
popsicle sticks
Crack the eggs in half, and clean out eggshells. Fill eggshells with moist potting soil. Set them in egg carton. Plant several seeds in each shell. Plant a variety of seeds - or all the same type. Use popsicle sticks to mark the different kinds of seeds on one side and the child who planted it on the other. Place in a bright window. Keep just barely moist. To transplant outdoors, gently crush eggshells and plant the entire thing.
