2. The “Chia Pet” Grass Head
This is a classic “science-meets-art” project. It teaches kids about germination and gives them a “friend” they can actually give a haircut to once the grass grows!
- Materials: Old nylon stockings, grass seed, sawdust or potting soil, a small yogurt cup.
- Steps:
- Put a spoonful of grass seed in the toe of the stocking.
- Fill it with sawdust until it’s the size of a tennis ball and tie it off.
- Add googly eyes and place the “neck” in a cup of water.
- Watch the “hair” grow over the next week.
