By eHow Holidays & Celebrations Editor

Nothing says Easter and spring like a basket brimming with colorful eggs, chocolate bunnies and jewel-toned jelly beans. With just a little advance preparation you can tuck those goodies into a nest of real grass.

Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Baskets
  • Grass Seeds
  • Potting Soil
  • Shallow Pots
  • Baskets

Step1
Gather your supplies and start about three weeks before Easter.

Step2
Find a shallow container that’s just big enough to fit inside the basket you want to use. (Make sure the pot has drainage holes.)

Step3
Fill the container with potting soil and sprinkle grass seed on top.

Step4
Place it outdoors in the sun or on a sunny windowsill.

Step5
Water it daily.

Step6
Wait until the grass has grown a few inches high and then tuck the container into a basket and let the Easter Bunny fill it with springtime treats.
