Easter Craft – Resurrection Garden

March 31, 2014 by Doreen Cagno Filed Under: Crafts & DIY 6 Comments

If you have young children or are a child at heart, this Easter Craft is for you!   A resurrection garden is a real hands on project for kids with plenty of teachable time as you put the garden together.  I did Easter craft last year with the children I teach in church time and they couldn’t wait to tell me each Sunday before Easter how much the grass had grown.  The ideal time to make a resurrection garden is 3-4 weeks before Easter.  That will give the grass plenty of time to grow!

 

Here is a list of the supplies you will need to make your own Resurrection Garden:
A large Terra Cotta saucer
(I used plastic Terra Cotta look saucers because they were cheaper)
1 small clay pot
Potting soil
Quick growing grass seed
River rocks (available at Dollar Tree)
A larger rock to place beside the tomb opening.
(instead of the river rocks, I just dug around my garden and in the field 
behind my house for the small rocks and the larger rock that I used.)
Twigs (just clip from your yard)
Jute twine
Spray bottle for water
I’m not going to rewrite the tutorial because Bonnie of Uncommon Designs wrote a great one with lots of pictures and step by step instructions.  You can find it HERE.  That’s where I found this great idea last year.  So go buy your supplies and plant a resurrection garden this week and the grass will look like mine by Easter!  Have fun!
