# Growing a Grass Head
A grass seed head allows children to enjoy creating a craft while they learn how to care for a plant. Homemade grass seed heads sprout grass that looks like hair. To make a grass seed head, fill pantyhose or nylon socks with grass seed and soil to create a round face that children can decorate. The grass seed head should begin to sprout within two weeks if you keep it watered and care for it properly.
