Grow Your Own Easter Basket Grass

Growing your own Easter basket grass is really easy, and it is a fun activity for the kids.  My girls loved watering their grass and watching it grow!  It takes a couple of weeks for the grass to fully grow, so I recommend starting this project a few weeks before Easter.

Materials

• Plastic plant saucer
• Potting soil
• Fast grow grass seed
• An Easter Basket

                                 

Note:  You want to make sure you use fast growing grass seed.  It can be purchased at Home Depot, Walmart, or on Amazon here or here.  Plastic plant saucers can also be purchased on Amazon here and here.

Method

• Fill your plant saucer about halfway with potting soil

• Pat the dirt down a bit with your hand, and then cover the dirt with quick grow grass seed

• Press the seeds into the dirt, and then fill the saucer with more dirt

• Place your plant saucer in a sunny window, and water it daily.  You should begin seeing sprouts in 3-5 days

• Once the grass sprouts it grows really quickly.  This is what our grass looked like after one week

Rosie and Jewel loved watering the grass everyday, and they really enjoyed watching it grow

You should have enough grass for your Easter basket in a little over a week, but you can grow it longer if you prefer.  The longer it is left to grow the fuller the grass will become
