The kids made homemade Chia Pets at daycare using nylons, dirt, and grass seed. They have begun to grow and the kids think they are so neat! Laura had a day off school on the day they had planned to make the Chia pets so she got to make one too. When picking John up at night, she always wants to go into daycare and see how much her catterpillar has grown!
John’s Chia pet is a bug without a hat. He wanted to be different from the girls. John will be “documenting” (as much as a three-year old can) the changes in his Chia pet over the next 4-6 weeks.
Eventually, the kids will get to bring them home. Laura said, “We can plant them in the yard since they are just grass, Mommy!” I really think this is one of the neatest things that Cheryl has ever done with the kids at daycare. We’ll keep you posted on the progress of the caterpillar and bug!
