Grass Guy

Mia refers to this cute little fellow as "Grass Guy." This is the second year in a row she has come home from preschool with one of these little "homemade Chia Pets." The kids plant grass seeds during the "Watch it Grow" unit and bring it home sometime after giving them their first "haircuts." I love the simplicity. All you need is a paper cup, some soil, grass seeds, googly eyes, pom pom nose, and half circle of paper for the mouth. She loves watering "Grass Guy," and she's eagerly awaiting his next "haircut."

{Update: Grass Guy's hair was getting long...}
