Enjoy the wonders of spring by growing your own Easter grass.  You can grow it in your Easter basket!

Easter crafts, coloring pages, printables, clip-art and Easter homepage for more fun activities.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Cut your cellophane or plastic large enough to line the basket plus stick out over the top edge by about one inch. If you use colored cellophane, it adds a nice decoration to the edges of the basket. Make sure you use one piece to prevent leaking.
2. Fill with vermiculite. Vermiculite is much lighter than soil, and is available at gardening departments. It also stays moist easily.
3. Cover the top with the seed, sprinkle a 1/4 inch layer of vermiculite over the seed, and water it with the spray bottle. Mist the seed every day.
4. In about 10 days you will have a good covering of grass, so start your grass 10-12 days before Easter.
