Helpful Tips:
What kind of seeds work best for growing grass hair?
When making these grass hair planters with kids, look for a fast growing seed so your kids will see results quickly. Some examples of seeds that sprout and grow quickly are wheatgrass, chia, cat grass, and alfalfa. We recommend wheatgrass seeds because they sprout quickly and grow thick and straight. Regular lawn grass seeds (such as ryegrass or fescue) also work well!
How much water should I add to grow grass in a cup?
For growing grass in a cup, you want the soil to be moist to the touch but not overly wet. Lightly water it every day or two, just enough to keep the soil damp without pooling water at the bottom. You can also try using a self-watering globe or spike to help keep the soil moist.
Can I trim the grass hair?
Yes! Once the grass head’s hair reaches a few inches tall, you can style it however you like. Give it a fun haircut with kid-safe scissors—just make sure not to cut too low, or you might damage the new growth. These silly grass hair planters are a hilarious and heartwarming way to add a little green fun to your space! Whether you’re looking for a creative science project, a spring craft, or just a reason to smile, this easy DIY delivers. Plant your seeds, watch the magic happen, and get ready to give your new “friend” the ultimate makeover!
