The kids made "Dirt Babies" at the Oregon Ag Fest...it would be a fun school project for a teacher to do-you take a pantyhose and tie a knot in one end....leaving a tail under the knot. Then put a handful of grass seed in it, then fill b...all size with dirt. Let the kids hot glue eyes, mouth, nose, etc....and send it home. Put water in cup and set dirt baby on top of cup with pantyhose "tail" down into water to suck up the water....it will start growing with in a week and then take off!
(They really freaked me out and still do if I look at them!) LOL
By the end of the week-here is what we had!

ReplyDeleteLove this! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteWe do this with our students at outdoor School! If you trim the hair, flat top style, it will keep growing and stay green. It will also get thicker. Interesting idea is put the grass seed around the edges and not on top. The kids love to see the results. :)
