Chia pets are a fun and easy way to grow your own plants. They are also a great way to teach children about the plant life cycle. Chia pets are made with chia seeds, which are soaked in water and then planted in a container. The seeds sprout and grow into a chia plant, which can be trimmed and shaped into any design you like.
