Easter Crafts and Projects 2014

There is just something about spring time that makes me happy! I love this time of year, therefore I love Easter. As Harry is getting older, our holiday crafts are becoming a little bit more elaborate. It's fun! :)

Here's a look at what we have done for Easter:

1. I LOVE handprint and footprint crafts! We made chick footprints.


2. Carrot footprint


3. Painting with carrots! All you need is paint, baby carrots, and paper. Dip the carrots in the paint, and paint using the carrot.


4. Alphabet eggs.
You can use this year round though. You simply write letters on the eggs and match them. The link is located in my blog too.


5. Duck shaped scrambled egg.
You can do this year round too. It's just scrambled eggs made into the same of a duck, shredded cheese, and a chocolate chip.


6. Easter bunny handprint.
This is a cute Easter card for family too. You use your child's handprint but only two fingers.


7. Decorating Easter eggs with paper.
Cut up some paper and glue it on the egg.


8. Easter bunnies!
We made Easter bunnies using cotton balls, googly eyes, paint, toilet paper rolls, pom pom balls, pipe cleaners, and paper.


9. Painting Easter eggs with pom pom balls.


10. Painting with magic paint.
This was a HUGE hit! I bought a 12 pack of this for only $2 at the craft store too!! All you do is get the paintbrush wet, dip it in the colors, and paint!


11. Painting with potatoes.
We painted Easter eggs with potatoes! I LOVED this. You cut a potato in half, carve a few lines in it, dip it in paint, and stamp your paper!



12. Painting with a potato masher.
This was awesome too! We used Easter colors, dipped the potato masher in paint, and painted.


13. Volcano eggs.
This can be used year round too. Using baking soda and vinegar, we made the eggs explode! This is an awesome science and chemistry lesson!! Visit my blog for the lesson...


14. Washing Easter eggs.
Using two containers, wash and rinse your eggs with soap and water. This can be done year round too.


15. Religious craft.
I used one of my favorite psalms, Harry's handprint for the sun, and three crosses to represent the meaning of Easter. I really enjoy this craft. :)


16. Chicks
Using a toilet paper roll and yellow paint, we made chicks. You dip the toilet paper roll into the paint, and stamp it on the paper. Then add feathers on each side. I also helped Harry add the eyes and nose.
