Joelle’s Jokes for March Madness

Kids Chia Pet

Chit Chat with Lori

What you will need:

Scissors

2 liter cola bottles, one for every child you are making a Kids

Chia Pet for.

For each bottle you will need two googly eyes.

Now you need dirt enriched with fertilizer.

Finally buy some Chia Seeds.

How to make your Kids Chia Pet:

If the kids are old enough and you have safety scissors, you can let them cut

their own bottles.If you do not trust the kids you may want to cut all the

bottles yourself before you start.Now that you have your cut up cola bottles

you will need to make them special.Give two googly eyes to each kid. Using

a hot glue gun, glue the eyes and the bottle cap onto the bottle, make sure

they form a face!Now you can add a mouth if you like, using a permanent

marker, or some pipe cleaner!Be sure to let the glue dry! We do not want

anyone getting burnt!Once you are sure all the glue is hardened we need to

fill each bottle with our dirt.For now fill them 3/4 of the way with dirt.Here

we will put the seeds in the soil. Place the Chia Seeds on top of the dirt!Now

put enough dirt on top of the seeds to cover them, but do not smother

them!Simply water the seeds regularly. Follow the instructions for best

growth on the Chia Seeds package.

Notes: You can use different sized bottles.If you really want it to be

cool, you can only cut the top of the cola bottle off. Fill the bottle

with dirt.Now for the cool part, use a pen to poke holes in the side of

the dirt filled bottle, I’d say anywhere from half way up the bottle to

the top, I would not go any lower than that.So now we have a bottle,

filled with dirt, and holes in the sides.Well now we put Chia

Seeds into those holes! Water from the top, put Chia Seeds on the top

as well.While starting this, make sure to keep the bottles on some sort

of container, water can and most likely will leak out the sides! This

makes a huge mess, and really, we do not want this

Why do we observe Daylight Saving Time? The simple answer is to save on energy costs. One of the

biggest reasons we change our clocks to Daylight Saving

Time (DST) is that it reportedly saves electricity. Newer

studies, however, are challenging long-held reason. In

general, energy use and the demand for electricity for

lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go

to bed and when we get up. Bedtime for most of us is

late evening through the year. When we go to bed,

we turn off the lights and TV.In the average home,

25% of all the electricity we use is for lighting and

small appliances, such as TVs and stereos. A good

percentage of energy consumed by lighting and

appliances occurs in the evening when families are

home. By moving the clock ahead one hour, we can

cut the amount of electricity we consume each day.
