Materials: Eggs, markers, potting soil, grass seed, construction paper, ruler and tape. Instructions: Draw a funny face on an eggshell, then gently tap off the end of the shell that is the top of the head. Shake out the egg into a bowl and set aside for cooking scrambled eggs if you like. Then fill the shell gently with soil. Make a base for the egghead by cutting a 2.5 cm strip of construction paper and taping it into a circle 4 cm in diameter. The shell will stand upright in the ring. Next, plant some grass seed in the soil and mist with water every other day, keeping the soil damp. Place the egghead in sunlight. In about a week, you can give your egghead a haircut or let it grow wild.
