Spring Basket Making with Teena of Little Bird

Today I welcome March sponsor Teena who writes at Little Bird by FunKy MoMmY. She has created a wonderful tutorial for you all about spring baskets. Whether you celebrate a fertility holiday, Easter or just the equinox this project is a lot of fun for little ones and will bring some much needed green into your home.



At our home we try to make our celebrations magical and homemade. Here is a fun project to do with your children. Wheatgrass germinates very quickly , so if you plant these seeds soon they will be ready in time for your Easter celebration. The children will especially love the process of soaking the seeds, filling their containers, playing with the dirt as they sow the seeds. And the excitement on their faces when the seeds sprout! Pure joy. After the baskets are ready, decorate them with some simple homemade treats. No candy? Not to worry! I am sure all your relatives will take care of that, as ours do. Happy Gardening!

  1. Love this idea! How long from sowing seeds until the grass fills in?

  3. I need to get started on this soon! I hate the fake stuff. Last year I used shredded paper, but real grass would be so much better.
