with proper care.

All living things grow.

Here is a fun thing.

You can do to see how things grow.

Now, here's what you'll need A styrofoam cup, some potting soil and some grass seeds.

The Styrofoam cup doesn't have to be new.

If you can recycle one from the trash and wash it out, it works just as well as a new one.

The first thing you do is take a marker and draw a face on the cup.

Let me show you a funny way to make eyes.

You might want to practice this one on a piece of paper before you draw on the cup.

Here's a piece of paper and these are kind of cartoon eyes.

First, you draw a short, straight line, then you make a long, curved line that arches up and over like this.

Now make a second one right next to the first.

Try to keep them about the same size.

Then put in the iris.

The colored part of the eye is called the Iris.

You can draw them anywhere in this area you want to.

I'm going to put them looking to one side.

You don't want a perfectly around circle here.

Just draws small crescent shaped like this and just fill it in there.

You know, you can practice lots of expressions by drawing the iris in different places.

Sure.

Try it.

It's fun Now I am going to draw eyes on my cup [♪♪♪] there.

I think I need a nose and a mouth there.

That's done.

Now it's time to put in the dirt.

[♪♪♪] Fill the cup almost to the top.

Like that.

And then put in the grass seeds.

It doesn't take a whole lot, you know, Spread them out over the dirt and then put another thin layer of dirt over the top of the seeds.

Water them a bit and put them in a sunny window.

Then watch each day.

Soon your grass seeds will sprout and you'll have something that looks like this.

Oh, and don't forget to water it a couple of times a week or they won't sprout.

Plants get their food from soil or dirt, but they also need water and sunlight to grow.

Remember, it'll take a few days for the grass seeds to begin to sprout.

So don't get discouraged.

Have patience.

Take care of your seeds and watch what happens.
