A friend recently introduced me to a great craft idea to do with the kids.
Introducing Mr and Mrs Grass Head – these great little guys sit happily on the window sill watching the world go by, growing their hair, waiting for their next style and cut.
They are made from those good old sock’s that seem to have lost their mate in the wash – they have to be put to some good use I guess.
This is what you need to produce them;
trim time
- 1 x odd sock
- Soil with grass seeds mixed into it
- Buttons for the eyes and nose
- And a container to hold them
ready for the army - lucky it grows back
Fill the sock with the soil and seed mixture, enough to make a head shape and tie into a knot. Leaving the excess of the sock, to be a wick in the container.
Sew on the buttons for the eyes and nose.
Completely wet the head and dip the wick into the container that is filled with water.
Put it in a sunny spot to start the photosynthesis of the grass.
To maintain the little fella, just keep the water levels in the container up and give little mist sprays on the head to maintain his lovely complexion. Cut hair at will or in Mr Poo Poo’s case trim moustache also – I guess it is Movember.
Enjoy…
Grass heads too cool for pre-school
