Easter Craft Ideas - Living Easter Grass Basket
Grow real grass for this Easter basket about one or two weeks before Easter.
Then fill it with treats!

You'll Need:
Cardboard milk carton
Poster board or card stock paper
construction paper
Stapler
potting soil
grass seed
plastic wrap

Cut and decorate a half gallon Milk carton with construction paper or acrylic paint. Make a handle with poster board and a stapler. Fill your container with potting soil and sprinkle on an ample amount of grass seed - Rye seed is the fastest. Water and cover with plastic wrap, or put in a large baggie. Let the basket sit in the sun, wait only a few days for grass to sprout, remove baggies, and add plastic eggs filled with goodies, or other wrapped candies. These baskets last a VERY long time and can be planted in the garden after Easter.
Kit's Tip:
To avoid over watering, use a spray bottle to mist. 
The seeds must be kept moist but not soaked.
