You will need:
Potatoes
Potting soil
Grass seed
misc craft supplies

1) Cut a little piece off the bottom of a potato so that it is flat and can stand

2) Cut a small piece off the top, about half an inch down.

3) Then, with a potato or carrot peeler, scoop out a little cavity in the potato the perfect size for planting.

4) Put potting soil in the hole and press in well.

5) Sprinkle quick growing grass seeds on the soil

6) Water well and mist every day

7) In 2 or 3 days the seeds will begin to sprout

8) Dress up the potato person using buttons, beads ribbon, whatever.

9) Set in a sunny spot and watch their hair grow!
