Earth Day Chia Pets

Homemade Chia Pets. Maya's is in yellow, Guillermo's is in orange.

We went to an Earth Day celebration last weekend and the kids came home with homemade Chia pets. They are adorable. You fill pantyhose with grass seeds, add dirt (smells like coffee grounds), tie it up, set it in the bottom of a plastic bottle that has been cut. Decorate. Add water and watch them grow. Guillermo's is already starting to sprout some hair. I'll post pictures when the hair really grows.

The festival also featured a show by Paperhand Puppet Intervention. We had never seen them before and the show was great. The puppets are amazing.
