Preschool science activities & learning activities creating this Grassman with your preschoolers & young children.

Grassman Kids Learning Activity:

Grassman is a fun preschool learning activity and activity for any young children, preschoolers or kindergarten children to have fun playing around with and observing the changes as they take place in the coming days.

Grassman will grow hair (grass) over several days or weeks providing he is placed in a well lit room near some sunlight and watered (a little bit at a time) every couple of days or so to keep the soil moist for the crass to thrive.

What is Required for this Preschool Activity?

A plastic container or old tin/aluminum container (eg.) old coffee tin, large soup can, anything that is large enough to put soil in.

*CAUTION* If using any tin, metal or plastic containers--please ensure that there are 'NO SHARP EDGES' where children or you can be cut!

Prevent sharp edges:

Use some duct tape or other suitable tape around the edge to cover over any sharp or jagged edges.

Felt or construction paper

Blunt or rounded scissors

Glue or Hot glue gun (Supervision required)

Eyes, nose, mouth etc. (Craft store or online in a printable form)

What to do for this Preschool Activity:

Measure the construction paper or felt to the height and the circumference (distance around the container).

Cut the felt or construction paper to the height and length needed to wrap around the container.

Use hot glue gun (Supervised - Keeping children clear) or craft glue to wrap container in chosen material.

Print out our sheet of eyes, noses and mouths. Cut out the eyes, nose and mouths you wish to use on your Grassman. Paste them on.

Fill container with soil - getting almost to the very top of the container.

Sprinkle in some grass seeds on the top. Lightly sprinkle a little bit of soil over the grass seed.

Lightly water the grass seed (not too much-just make it moist)

Place in a well lit window that receives lots of sun or light. Watch daily as grass (hair) starts to grow.

Water every other day as needed without over watering.

Grassman - Science Activity For Kids:

While observing the Grassman each day. You could have the children look for changes.

You can keep record on a piece of paper of when the grass started to grow, the length, the color etc. Each day or every other day you can observe changes with the children.

Asking the Preschoolers & Young Children

Is the grass growing?

What does it look like?

How long is it?

What color is it?

Does the soil look dry or wet?

As the Grassman's hair has grown in to a full length, the hair (grass), can be trimmed and cut or bows etc. be clipped in.

Have Fun with this fun kids learning activity. Use your imagination.
