Oh how I love to craft and a holiday makes all the best reason to craft! Usually I do a lot of homemade crafting but this year we are planing a family trip over Easter weekend and didn't have time to do a lot. I still did some however. Yesterday we used markers,stickers,glue and glitter to make some wooden Easter bunny masks I got for a $1 at a craft store. I did Elise's since she's still not so into it yet. I used pink glitter for her and Bryce asked for blue. While those sat to dry Bryce jumped right into painting Easter sun catchers. He just love sun catchers> One of his top 5 favorite crafts. I don't tell Bryce he has to color things a certain way. I prefer him use his own mind. He has a wonderful imagination that love seeing come out of him. He knows what color a bunny should be and I love that his are green! Today however was a blast! My MIL joined us with her niece and nephew she's watching this week. We had a mini crafting party. First and biggest event was coloring Easter eggs. We used food coloring and the basic vinegar water solution. those kids had a blast!!!!! a good friend of mine dropped by and joined in on the fun! I do wire whisks to dunk the eggs. Find this very easy for kids. They had some beautiful eggs!!!!! After a nice lunch break we moved on to baking mini brownies and the kids put a little frosting and jelly beans on those. A super yummy treat to end crafting! After they left and my two were curled up together with a Easter kids movie I went on and used a super hard marble egg coloring kit. They turned out great but weren't that much fun doing. You wore plastic gloves and held the egg in your hand to paint. They also still had to be hot for it to work. Not something I see myself doing again. I like the basic old way of doing eggs! All in all I would have loved to have time to do more crafts but time wasn't on our side. Next year we will do more. I am going off grid as of Friday for # days. I hope everyone enjoys Easter and the quality with there family and kids. I would love to hear about your Easter crafting! Leave comments!!!!!
