Grass Guy Craft

Grass Guy Craft is a lot of fun to make, and it will give your kids something to work with for quite some time. When well cared for, I've seen this craft last for months!

Materials:
grass seeds
pantyhose
bowl of water
potting soil or saw dust
safety scissors
pipe cleaner

Directions:

Cut out a 12 inch to 30 inch strip from a pair of pantyhose. Tie a knot in one end and turn it inside-out. Place a handful of grass seed inside. Fill the rest of the pantyhose strip with sawdust or potting soil and tie a knot at the top. Pinch out a nose and tie it off with a rubber band or or an 8 inch length of string. Soak in a bowl of water until it is thoroughly wet.

Once you have made your head, put it upright in a dish. Make sure the nose is in the right place. Now you child can decorate his grass pal as he or she pleases. Sprinkle it with water every day.

If your child keeps the soil moist, in a couple of weeks the grass buddy will sprout delicate blades of grassy hair. Your child can use a pair of safety scissors to give his grass pal a haircut as needed
