You know I am starting to get my life back together when I
have time to do crafts! So after nap the other day, I packed up the kids and
headed over to TT's house for some crafting fun. Okay, so it had been a while,
and I was a little rusty, that's okay. I
got a little over zealous with the egg size, but as the days past I started to
get my crafting groove back. So this morning, with daddy heading up to Vermont
for a wedding this weekend, the kids and I hit Michael's to stock up on a weekend
full of crafting supplies!
Here is some of the fun we have been having!
And since the littles are still too small for crafts, mainly
because they can't even sit up yet, we stuck them on the playmat for lots of
rolling and giggling.
Next it was on to making chalk Easter eggs. I found this one
on Pinterest and knew I had to try it! It is so simple. Just draw an egg shape
(or cut one out if your kids are old enough to stay within the lines) and using
painters tape (cut in half to make it skinnier) lay some strips on the egg.
Then have the kids dip the sidewalk chalk in water and color away! When they
are all finished all you have to do is cut out the egg shape and remove the tape
for perfectly faux-dyed Easter eggs!
Then this morning A and I made a little spring chick with
her handprints for feet. Again, a super simple craft. I cut out a body circle
and a head circle, then traced a circle on the white paper about a 1/2 inch smaller than the body circle, to give
A a guide as to where the feathers should be glued, then I turn the glue and a
bag of multi-colored feathers over to a very excited 3 year old. Next, she
glued on some eyes and a beak and we put it all together. The last step was her
handprints of course, and again we stuck to nice and simple. I smeared some orange
paint on a plate let her rub her little hands around then splat, onto the paper
they went.
Then while I was making lunch A ran around finding all the Easter
eggs I had hidden for her!
Then it was time for my crafts! This summer I bought some
adorable picture frames at the beach that had been covered in scrapbooking
paper and paint, so I decided to give it a whirl. I have only finished the
paint and mod podge but we will see how they turn on soon, when they are dry
and I have time to add some more fun embellishments!
What a fun morning!
