craft time - cress heads

During the last school holidays we had my neice staying with us for a week and so we had craft time every day. The kids were all so excited about making these cress heads.

They all loved digging through the craft boxes and sticking on their favourite things.

Here are the finished products.

It took less than 24 hours for the seeds to start sprouting. The kids were soooo patient.

We've been watering them every couple of days and I have caught the two of them - at different times - just sitting there staring at them as if willing the 'hair' to grow longer.

This is after about 2 weeks. 

We don't eat cress so i'm just going to let them give their 'heads' a hair cut.

Liam can't wait.
