Microgreens: Alien Eggs and Zombie Brains Sensory Bowls
October 16, 2025
Making Your Sensory Bowls
For your Alien Eggs… Combine ¼ cup chia seeds with 1 cup water and 5–7 drops of green food coloring (or more, depending on how vibrant you want the color) in a sealable container. If you want a thicker, slime-like consistency, add a sprinkle of cornstarch to the mix. Let them sit for several hours or overnight until the mix forms a gel-like consistency. Once the seeds have absorbed the liquid, you’ve got Alien Eggs ready for sensory exploration.
For your Zombie Brains… Cook your spaghetti or squash as you usually would. Divide the cooked spaghetti into different bowls and add food coloring to each to dye them different colors. Mix them all together after they’re dyed to make a colorful, scary dish!
