Grass Head - watch his hair grow

We made these before Christmas, the Little Man had a great time helping me with it, and even more fun watering and watching his hair grow. An easy and fun craft project that everyone will get a laugh out of.

What you will need

- Old Stocking
- 3x elastic bands - small ones
- Cotton balls
- Grass seed - handful
- Paper cup
- Wobbly eyes
- Pipe cleaners
- Glue

What you need to do to put it all together

- Cut the stocking at about the thigh, you can cut more off later when you are finished if you need to.

- Place a handful of the grass seed in the toe of the stocking

- On top of the seed, push the cotton balls in to the stocking so it is reasonably firm, and in the shape of a head.

- Now you need to shape the face, make a nose shape and then put the elastic band around it to hold in place. Then do the same for the ears.

- Tighten the stocking at the bottom and tie into a knot, leave a bit of stocking hanging as it helps to soak the water up when watering it, but if it is too long then chop it shorter.

- Glue on his eyes ( a good craft glue is better, or his eyes will keep falling off), and his pipe cleaner mouth.

- Place in a paper cup in a sunny spot on the window.

- Water him every day and you should start to see him sprout in 7 days or sooner.

- Cut his hair how ever you like.

TIP - Wait for the glue to dry before you water him.

We had so much fun with making the first one we had to make another, the second one we put a bit of grass seed just under his nose to make a mustache, very funny.
