Begin Again Eggheads This is a featured page

I came across this on another site and since Mabon is just around the corner, I thought I would post this here. I have done this with my own kids and they really enjoyed it. And it is also a fun way to teach a lesson about the meaning of what some of Mabon is all about....Hope you enjoy this! Blessed
be!

Begin Again Eggheads

Materials :
A couple of eggs per child,
felt-tip markers or crayons,
grass seed or bird seed,
some soil, a nail,
and some plastic wrap.

Have children draw funny faces on their eggs with the markers or crayons. Take the nail and make a hole at the top of the egg, keep working on hole until about the size of a quarter. Drain and rinse inside of egg and spoon some soil into it. Put in some grass/bird seed, moisten soil, and wrap in plastic wrap. Set in a sunny spot to sprout. Once grass starts sprouting, remove the wrap and water daily. (Explain to children that although the egg is no longer what it was originally, it has gone through a death and a rebirth as something else living and part of Nature.)
