Planting a little lawn in a coworker’s keyboard is a nice way to welcome him back from vacation.

• 

  Step 1: Wait for a good time

  Find a time when a coworker is going to be out of the office for at least two weeks—maybe when he’s on that romantic honeymoon.

• 

  Step 2: Spray their keyboard

  Spray his keyboard—or an old one you don’t mind ruining—with water.

• 

  Step 3: Sprinkle in seeds

  Sprinkle cat-grass seeds in the cracks between the keys.

• Tip

  Cat-grass seeds are available at pet stores and in some grocery stores.

• 

  Step 4: Cover

  Cover the keyboard with plastic wrap. You want things to get nice and moist.

• 

  Step 5: Light it

  Place the keyboard by a window, where it will get plenty of sunlight.

• 

  Step 6: Enjoy!

  Enjoy the look on your coworker’s face when he comes back from his holiday to find several inches of grass growing out of his keyboard!

• Fact

  Chia Pets sprout their “fur” when soaked chia seeds are planted in the grooves of a clay figure.
