No, this blurb isn't going to be about money...it's about Teancum's newest friend. In addition to "Shawlaur" (I'll write more about them in the future) Mr Green is now one of Teancum's favorite pals to hangout with; even though he can't go down the slide.
So, who is Mr. Green? Why, he's the cute little grass head, chia pet-like friend Teancum brought home from library last week. He's cute and best of all Teancum can cut his hair with Scissors.
(the library program was on seeds & spring for those who missed it).
Now, how can you get your own little Mr. or Mrs. Green for your child to play hairdresser on? It's as easy as 1,2,3,
1. Take an old Nylon that you plan on throwing out (clean please...unless you want to call him stinky pete). Put a handful of Rye Grass seed in the nylon followed by a cup full of dirt, then tie a not in the end
2. Dress it up with craft eyes..for girls a little sticky bow would be cute too.
3. Turn it upside down in a clear cup, water, set it in sunlight and watch it grow
Here is a picture of our Mr.Green before and after his first haircut. NOTE: if your child swings the nylon around and mixes the seeds up with the dirt your Mr. Green will look more like an ape than a baby.

The finished product..not bad for a two year old

What a great post! You had me cracking up with your directions on how to make a Mr. Green....Stinky Pete! And I think that Cali would probably LOVE for her's to look more like an ape than a baby. We'll definitely have to give this a try. Thanks!
