Minecraft for Real: Live Grass Blocks for Spring

Here's a fun craft for kids who like to play Minecraft! Real grass blocks!

You'll just need a few supplies: a small dairy carton, construction paper, glue, scissors, potting soil and grass seed.

We used a half and half container, which is a pint and a nice size for a grass block. Cut the carton into a cube and rinse out. Cover with brown construction paper and decorate to look like a Minecraft block. Fill with dirt and seeds, then place in a sunny window!

Check out more pictures and two more ways to make your very own "real" grass blocks at my blog: StlMotherhood.com.
