How to Make Easter Grass from WHEAT

Published: Wed, 03/21/18

Hi from Food Storage Made Easy!

Easter is coming up early this year so I wanted to send this quick email with a fun activity you can do this week. The trick is you have to start RIGHT AWAY or it won't be ready in time for Easter. Hope you enjoy. Please share with us if you make your own, we'd love to see!

How to Make Easter Wheat Grass

These little bugs of mine like to do this tradition every year. We first posted about it on the blog 8 years ago so one of these kids is now a teenager (YIKES!) Here are the simple instructions on how to make your easter grass.

Step 1: Soak a heaping cup of wheat kernels in a bowl of water overnight. The wheat should have teeny tiny sprouts on the ends.
Step 2: Line your Easter baskets with saran wrap if there are holes or seams in them.
Step 3: Fill the baskets with potting soil.
Step 4: Soak the soil with water, get it nice and wet.
Step 5: Spoon a thick layer of wheat onto of the soil. Mist with a little more water. Then sprinkle some more soil on top. Mist with more water just for good measure.
Step 6: Wrap the baskets in plastic or a ziplock bag. Try to make it airtight.
Step 7: Set in a warm place and leave the plastic on until most of the seeds have started to sprout grass. Remove plastic and mist daily if it looks dry.
Step 8: Enjoy a nice thick blanket of REAL Easter grass in a few weeks!

Hope your Easter Bunny lays a few eggs in the grass like ours does. The kids think it's pretty funny when he does it.
