Chi...Chi...Chi..Chia! Obama Chia Pet #review #giveaway

I have to tell you that we had so much fun with the product!!! I had a Chia Pet dog when I was younger and I loved it. When this came I was a little giddy because I knew that Aiden was going to enjoy it as much as I did. And he has learned a lot about President Obama in school so he was excited and a little amused about doing this. He thought it was really funny that President Obama was going to grow a head of hair. In my mind, I was sure hoping that it was going to work or I was going to have a very disappointed little boy.

It did work and it was very easy to do. The kit comes with everything you need and very easy to understand directions. We checked our Chia Obama everyday and it took 6 days before we saw the first sign of growth. You refill the Obama head with water everyday. Make sure you don't put it in direct sunlight. Ours isn't completely finished as you will see in the pictures below but we are excited to see how it looks when he has a full head of hair. It's also very nice that we can do this more than once. Check this out with your children. They will enjoy watching it grow.

I knew this was going to be a fun activity.
