Sprouting Easter Grass

We've started our Easter grass. This is a fun and simple project for all ages. You will need a container, grain, soil, and water. I bought rye and winter wheat berries at our local whole foods store, Everybody's, in the bulk section. Soak berries overnight. Fill saucers, or container of your choice, with enough dirt to completely cover the bottom. Spread grain over the top and pat in a little. Water generously the first time. Check daily to make sure they are moist. Don't let them dry out!




I am also inspired in make pet rocks, or in this case pet lady bugs.

Back in the shop

I was able to visit the shop and start sanding on our newest project, the semi car transporter. This is an amazing toy! Henry, of course, inspired us to make it. I made a pattern from a toy at Ella's piano teacher's house. Henry looks forward to going there every week to play. Jim cut two trucks, a walnut and cherry. These are heirloom quality. I can't wait until the wheels come, so we can list them on Etsy!

A little package of magic is off to Canada!
