Grow Your Own Easter Basket Grass

Growing your own Easter basket grass is really easy, and it is a fun activity for the kids.  My girls loved watering their grass and watching it grow!  It takes a couple of weeks for the grass to fully grow, so I recommend starting this project a few weeks before Easter.

Foaming Snow Recipe

The other day we made a new homemade sensory snow, and it was SO FUN!  This snow foam is unlike any other snow we have made.  It is cold and fluffy.  It is soft, mold-able, and irresistible to touch.  You can make great snowmen with it, & you can make MAGIC snowballs.  This snow doesn't bubble like our erupting snow.  It FOAMS in a very different way that is mesmerizing and SO COOL!
