We made a fun little Potato Pet craft in our K-2 class and I thought it would brighten your day, too-- especially since we're expecting rain and bad weather later today. All you need is four toothpicks, a potato, some potting soil and some grass seed. Have your mom cut a wedge lengthwise on your potato. Take a fork and scrap the inside of the wedge a little. Poke the toothpicks into the under side of your potato to make legs. Now just add potting soil and grass seed in the wedge and water a little. You don't need too much because of the moisture from the potato itself. In a few days, you will see your potato sprout hair! Watch the areas on the potato called eyes. Pretty soon, those will sprout also and you may have a potato pet with a beard! Want to try another? Let's make this fabulous Hairy Caterpillar!
