Grass Head
Old nylons or colored panty hose
Saw dust
Grass seed or try using herb seeds !

Put the grass seed in the nylon (this will be the top).
Add sawdust into the nylon (this will be the bottom). Fill it enough for size of head you would like.
Secure with a rubber band. Use rubber bands to make ears and nose. Attach felt lips. Glue on wiggle eyes.
Place in a small bowl with water and watch your Grass man as it sprouts hair.
Don't forget to give him a haircut every now and then !

I have seen this done with a soda can body. If I use the can, is there a way the water in the can could get up to the head?
Its AWESOME:) I made one for my sister:) she LUURRVVEEDD it:):)
2 cute!
we did this at school but put in a stocking and but that sinting on a jar with the rest in the jar of water.
the instuctions are exelent
We left some of the stocking as a neck and dangle it into a jar to absorb up water. you dont have to water it often that way. also soil instead of sawdust is what we prefered.
this is cool i will do it
do you have to use sawdust inside?
This is a very easy and fun craft. When I was small, i had a bought one, but now can make it!
oh this is too cute
