Grassheads!




Here are some pictures of our "grassheads." These little TP tube people were fun to make. We put a sandwich bag inside, attached with a rubberband across the top outer rim. They are filled with potting soil, then planted with wheat grains, to make wheat grass.

The "hair" came up within a few days. One picture is of a couple days of growth; the other one, after about a week, looked like a "bad hair day"!

This was a craft during our homeschool kids group.

When the grass was up and growing well, our kitten had a great time knocking over the tube people, and chewing on their hair; we had to grow her her own dish of wheat grass. But she still seemed to prefer knocking over the grasshead people, even when her own grass was up!
