Grass Head

What You Need to Create Your Grass Head

1. Grass Seeds
2. Soil
3. Plastic Cup
4. Child Size Sock
5. Rubber band
6. Items to decorate face (we used wiggle eyes, button and fabric paint)

Directions

Step 1: Put grass seeds into foot of sock

Step 2: Add soil to cup

Step 3: Wrap sock around lid of cup and dump soil into sock, making sure grass seeds stay at bottom of sock.

Step 4: Tie bottom of sock with rubber band and shape sock to create the size face you would like

Step 5: Decorate face and let dry over night

Step 6: Run water over sock to wet soil and seeds

Step 7: Add water to bottom of the cup and add grass head so that face is sticking out of the cup. The "tail" of the sock will work like a wick to keep your grass head watered. 

Step 8: Make sure water is kept in bottom of cup 

Step 9: Wait and watch for hair to grow!
