If using white glue, let it set for a few hours; hot glue will set in a few minutes. \u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Clean eggshells and dry them gently. Using tempera paint or markers, decorate the eggshells. Let the paint dry. Put potting soil in the eggshells (fill a little over half way). Add many grass seeds or two bean seeds (in case one doesn’t germinate). The grass seeds take a few weeks to germinate, but bean seeds will sprout in just a few days.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Set them in egg carton. You may want to plant a variety of seeds. Try beans, tomatoes, radish, marigold, and cantaloupe. Cover the seeds with a little bit of soil, and sprinkle lightly with water. Use popsicle sticks to mark the different kinds of seeds. Place in a bright window. Keep just barely moist. When transplanting outdoors, gently crush eggshell and plant the entire thing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Egg shells Grass seeds (they germinate in a few weeks) or bean seeds (they germinate in a few days) Potting soil Egg carton Container to mix soil Popsicle sticks (optional) Tempera paint or Markers Hot glue or white glue A small square of cardboard or a small piece of a pipe cleaner. \u00c2\u00a0 To give […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,22,16,15,9,44],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3321"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3323,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3321\/revisions\/3323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3321"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3321"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/mom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3321"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
