Easter baskets and wheat grass

I recently learned how to sprout wheat to have actual grass for Easter baskets.  

I'm not really a crafty sort of person, but this required little effort for a cute result, so I tried it.
The children were naturally keen on participating in the whole process.

They both helped fill the containers with dirt.

Of the two children, Brandt's attention span lasted longer.  

How could he not be interested in shovels and dirt?  He is a boy, afterall.

They both enthusiastically "planted" the seeds.  

The initial preparation of the Easter containers was several days ago.  

Here is what our containers look like today.  

Brandt was delighted to water them this morning--giving them a good spritz with a spray bottle. 

We are both excited at how quickly they are growing.  

I think they will make a darling centerpiece on the table for Easter, filled with brightly colored eggs--

(a project for later in the week).
