What you'll need for your Cress Egg Heads
Empty egg shell halves
Colourful felt pens
Cotton wool
Cress seeds
An empty egg box or container for the eggs to sit on
Stick-on wobbly eyes (optional)
How to make Cress Egg Heads
1. Wash out the egg shells and sit them in the egg box or container to keep them steady.
2. Draw some crazy faces onto the egg shells and add the wobbly eyes if you have them.
3. Put some cotton wool inside the egg shells and dampen with water.
4. Sprinkle the cress seeds all over the cotton wool . A good coverage will give you a full head of hair once the cress seeds have grown.
5. Put the Cress Egg Heads on a windowsill and wait for the hair to sprout. It’ll only take a couple of days.
6. Add a tiny drop of water if the cotton wool dries out.
Tips:
When you break the eggs, try to break off just a small piece at the top so that you have a good size egg shell left to work with.
If you don’t have an egg carton or suitable container you can always use a piece of cotton wool to keep the eggs upright.
If you don’t have cress seeds, you could always use grass seeds and give your Egg Head a different hair style!
Hunting and foraging is a great fun autumn activity. The kids will love being outside and collecting all sorts of treasures. It also helps teach them about seasonal changes and to enjoy the different types of nature that surrounds them.
Goal setting for pre-schoolers is not something we hear about often, but its never too early to start. Its a great way to build their self-confidence and a valuable life-long skill. Goal-setting helps them to identify what is wanted, and that if they set their minds to something, they can achieve it. Setting goals with your children will direct their efforts and encourage them to achieve success.
