Here are some cute pictures of our home made chia-heads. It is grass seed in a nylon stocking filled with sawdust. We used puffy paint to add faces.

When the grass seed starts to grow it becomes the hair and the kids can trim as needed or style anyway they choose! It is a favorite spring activity here!

Those are so cool!

I'll never forget the Christmas my husband took my son with him to pick me out a Christmas present. He insisted on a Chia Pet! :lol::lol::lol: Must have been a great commercial. I was in histerics when I opened it.

I did those once years ago, only we pinched off pieces for ears and a nose and then tied little rubber bands around them to hold them. It's really funny when the grass starts growing out of akward places on their faces...:lol:

Here are the version we did this year. One thing I like about these is that they can see the roots grow too. Kind of cool!

Wow! Those are super cute! Did you use empty pop bottles? That would be much easier! We now have sawdust EVERYWHERE!!!! LOL!!

I should've posted those pictures instead as a warning to do this craft outside!

Where did you get the sawdust? Please don't tell me your hubbys shop. Are you willing to ship some to all of us?

We might just do the pop bottle ones. Saves me shipping and handling if I have you send me sawdust-:D

Can you see the UPS man when I open the door and say "Awesome my sawdust is here":lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yes, hubby's woodshop! LOL! We are swimming in sawdust as it is everywhere!! We use it for anything and everything we can!

If you seriously need some sawdust, I can send you some! LOL! It is lightweight so probably really cheap for shipping! ...or wait, this is all just a ploy to see the UPS man isn't it?!?! :lol: ;) :lol: or was that daycare who waits for the UPS guy? :p

Where did the Mr. UPS and Mr. FED EX go? Did they figure out you were ordering things so they could deliver? Kind of a mail type stalking thing-:lol:

Oh, I crack myself up. I so need something really going on in my life-:D
