What fun...'sprouting' eggs. Thanks to my friend, Judi, for the wonderful idea. Start the month before Easter by saving egg shells. Also save an empty egg box. When you use an egg, tap the top gently with a knife to break it, then carefully pick the broken pieces away until you get a nice-sized opening. Use the egg inside and then rinse the shell out and stand it in the carton to dry. As you get more eggs, keep adding them to the carton.
About 2 weeks before Easter, put some top soil in each empty shell and then sprinkle some grass seed over the top and water each one. I added a bit more dirt at this point to cover some of the seed. Cover the entire egg carton with plastic wrap and put it in a sunny window. Your grass will start to grow in about 5 days. Remove the plastic -- don't forget to keep each egg watered -- and let the grass grow until Easter. My grass grew so well, I had to cut it several times. To the very long grass, I added bows for pigtails and a ponytail! Stand them in baskets or cut a strip of paper, tape the ends so it forms a circle and stand the eggs in that. Happy Easter! |
