Tip of the Week


Empty 1/2 gal. Milk Cartons
Potting Soil
Grass Seed (fast growing if you have it)
Decorations for carton
Take empty milk cartons, cut down to 4-5" high. Can cover with contact paper or construction paper and decorate. Fill 2/3 full with potting soil, the generously cover with grass seed. Have children water daily; grass should grow in about 4-7 days. With remaining carton, cut a handle to staple to the basket. Fill with decorated eggs.
