I first saw this idea on the cover of a recent women's magazine. I thought it was cute, but never entertained the idea of creating it myself. Then while searching for a fun Easter project for kids, I thought of this, and voila! Absolutely adorable cuteness overload- just for kids! Well, ok. There is no reason grown-ups can't get in on the fun, but this is a guaranteed kid pleasing project. My kids are all boys, so the pretty little flower idea had to make way for some male pleasing macho cactus plants- but I am sure you'll agree, the cuteness is not lost at all!
The first step is to break the eggs. Try to crack them gently on the pointed end of the egg, turning slightly and tapping again until it is easy to remove the "cap."
Take some soil and with a small spoon put some soil in the bottom of the egg shell.
Add the plant and gently push more soil around the roots and gently and firmly press down until the plant is well supported by soil.
When all your eggs are planted, spritz water on the plants.
Don't you think this will make a very creative table centerpiece that will make your kids, (or you) proud?
That is so adorable! Way cute! What a clever idea for a centerpiece. And they can be outplanted soon after. I bet it is fun for the kids too.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to remember this for when Pata gets older!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You are so clever on so many levels and you inspire me constantly. Thank you! x
ReplyDelete@ Gail~ It is so fun for the kids. My middle wild thing has taken these eggs "under his wing" so to speak, and is carefully watering them as needed.
ReplyDelete@ KC~ Pata will have lots of fun with this when she is older. :)
@ Mo~ You are so sweet, thank you!
