4. Open up your cress seeds and sprinkle a generous pinch onto your soil and pat down. Be careful not to push the seeds in too deep, they only need to be just touching the soil.
   
   
5. Draw a face on you're bunny rabbit or draw on your basket (we used whiteboard markers but you can use any type of marker.
