Begin by hot gluing eyes onto the flower pot. Hold in place until cool.
Use colored hot glue or tube paints to draw mouths, eyelashes, eyebrows, freckles or other features. Let them cool or dry completely. (Hot glue dries faster, but is not good for small children.)
Now add potting soil and grass seeds and let them grow. Keep the soil moist and in the sun light. A window sill works great!
After your grass has grown, it will need to be styled! Let the children style the grass with scissors. Now they looks trimmed and great!
Tip: Avoid using the word “Haircut”, and be sure to emphasize it is grass. That way children are not confused and think that DIY haircuts are okay.
This is a fun craft for kids to learn about planting and growing plants, caring for and being patient as the grass grows, and having fun clipping the grass as it grows.
