Preparation
Prepare your eggshells by using a blunt knife to take off the top third of the shell only, and empty the egg into a bowl - you can use this in a future cooking project to avoid food waste. Once the content of the egg has been removed, wash out the eggshell and leave it to dry.
Use this activity as an introduction to plants and as a fun way to involve others in gardening and your school garden.
