Grass head guys

Not only am I a wolf den leader, but for the last several months I have been teaching at Round Table so this month I decided to share something that we did last year with my boys:

Grass head guys

These guys are pretty easy to make and the boys absolutely love watching them grow.

What you will need to make your own grass head guy:

• nylons(knee highs or an old pair cut off at the knee)
• Quick grow grass seed
• 3 rubber bands
• top soil
• yoplait yogurt container (washed and dried)
• googly eyes
• pipe cleaner 
• e6000 glue

I know I have a cup instead of a yogurt container, and that is because I tried using a cup first and it didn't work very well. 

What you will need to do to put them together:

• place handful of grass seed in the toe of the stocking(it helps to have an extra set of hands to stretch the nylon out)
• add soil on top of the seeds until well firm and makes the shape of a head.

• next shape the face, make a nose shape and put an elastic around it to hold it into shape. Do the same for each ear(if you want to add a mustache add some grass seed under his nose before moving onto the next step)

• Tighten the stocking at the bottom and tie a knot in it. Leave the rest of the nylon to hang down as this will absorb the water from the container, if it it too long you can cut some off.

• Glue on his eyes and his pipe cleaner mouth with e6000 glue (*DO THIS BEFORE WATERING, I learned the hard way also make sure the glue is dry before watering)

• Place in yogurt container and put in sunny window 
• water him everyday and you should start to see growth in approximately 7 days. 
• trim hair however you want.
