This is another cute find from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Eggling comes in a box, complete with growing instructions and an extra packet of seeds. Simply tap on Eggling's head with a metal spoon until it cracks, put on the terra cotta tray and water. Stick Eggling in sunshine and pretty soon you have an adorable growing plant. Eggling can be stuck into the ground or a full-sized pot, and the egg breaks down as fertilizer.
Available plants are herbs (basil, italian parsley, mint, thyme) and flowers (chrysanthemum, lobelia, phlox, petunia).
The makers of Eggling also manufacture Nyokki a plastic animal who grows grass out of its head. You trim the grass and style Nyokki's hair.
Sort of like Chia Pets, but cuter.
