When we were at AGFEST 2010 a couple of weeks ago the kids made Dirt Babies. Below are the instructions and the results. I think that kids of all ages might dig this project.
Things you need : old stocking legs, dirt, grass seed, jar, various decorative doo-dads
1. Put large scoop of grass seed in toe of stocking (3 tablespoons or so)
2. Put about a cup or so of dirt on top of seed
3. Tie off stocking so you have a ball(trim of excess stocking but leave about 3 inches)
4. Decorate your dirt baby with face, ears at your whim - hat's not recommended
5. Put dirt baby in a jar with mouth just small enough for dirt baby to rest on and tail should be in water (photo should clarify this direction)
6. watch and be amazed!
7. Then your babies will need haircuts

First thought in my mind when reading the title ... the kids LOOK clean?! Oh ... not THOSE babies!
Too cute, unfortunately with my red thumb (opposite on color wheel from green) I'd still manage to kill the poor things.
That is SO cool. LOVE IT. This will be a big hit at our house. THANK YOU!
