A step-by-step guide to growing Mr Grass Head with kids, from planting the seeds to trimming the first green hair. Turn it into a real plant lesson at home or in class.
Quick answer
Use Mr Grass Head as a short daily plant lesson: plant the supplied seeds, keep the head damp but not soaked, place it in a sunny spot, and let kids trim and style the grass once it grows. The whole process works best when children do the watering and observing themselves.
Why Mr Grass Head works as a first plant lesson
Most plant activities for kids fail because the results are invisible for too long. Mr Grass Head shortens that feedback loop: the grass seeds are already in the head, so children can focus on watering, sunlight, and observation instead of waiting for germination in a hidden pot.
The kit also gives you a natural reason to talk about what plants need. Because the grass grows on a face, kids can see the change daily and connect care with visible results. That makes it a practical classroom plant experiment or a weekend project at home.
What to expect and what to watch for
The catalog describes grass appearing within days, but it does not promise a specific height or a guaranteed sprout rate. Treat the first week as an experiment: if nothing appears, check moisture and light before assuming the seeds failed.
Mr Grass Head is a small, low-cost kit, so it works well as a repeatable activity rather than a long-term plant. Plan for a few weeks of growth and trimming, then decide whether to keep styling or start a new head.
Mr Grass Head growing steps
- 1. Set up the head: Place Mr Grass Head in a small dish or saucer before adding water. The kit does not include a tray, so use a shallow container to catch drips and protect surfaces. Checkpoint: the head should sit upright and stable before any water goes on.
- 2. Add water: Pour water gently over the seeded head until it is damp, not flooded. A common mistake is soaking the head so much that water pools and the seeds wash loose. Checkpoint: the head feels moist but no water runs off when you lift it.
- 3. Choose a sunny spot: Place Mr Grass Head in a bright, sunny spot such as a windowsill. Avoid dark corners, which slow growth and leave the grass pale. Checkpoint: the spot gets several hours of daylight each day.
- 4. Water daily: Check moisture every day and add a little water when the head starts to feel dry. The most common mistake is skipping a day because the surface still looks damp. Checkpoint: keep a simple chart so kids record watering and the first green shoots.
- 5. Trim and style: Once the grass is long enough, let children trim it with safety scissors and style it into different hairdos. Trimming is part of the lesson: it shows how plants respond to care. Checkpoint: trim only the grass, not the seeded surface, so regrowth stays possible.
Product facts
- Mr Grass Head - Educational Science Kit: Mr Grass Head comes with a head of grass seeds ready to sprout into green hair. You do not need to buy separate seeds, so the lesson can start as soon as you add water.
