Simple Easter Crafts

 Spring break is upon us, and Easter will be here before we know it! Here are two simple crafts to keep your little ones busy...at least for a little bit:

B is for Bunny craft:

1. On a piece of construction paper, draw a large letter B
2. Along the letter, put some white school glue. If your child is old enough, they can do this part.
3. Have your child place cotton balls on the glue.
4. Cut out some bunny ears and glue those on at the top of your letter B.
5. Add some googly eyes and you have a cute, alphabet Easter craft.

Handprint Bunnies

1. Trace your child's hand and cut it out.
2. Fold the middle finger behind the bunny (or cut it off)
3. Fold down the pinky finger and thumb to act as the bunny's arms.
4. Have your child draw on the face, feet, and inside of ears.
5. Voila! You have a cute little hand print bunny!

Toddler Fun: Cotton-Ball Ghost

My daughter has been running around saying something to the effect of aw-oooo, but it took me forever to figure out that she was making a ghost sound! Now that Halloween's almost here, we've started crafting in full-swing and she adored making this cotton-ball ghost recently!

Just cut out a ghost from paper or card-stock and put some glue on it (or if you're feeling brave, let them spread the glue). Let your toddler place the cotton ball's to their heart's content.

Once the cotton balls have dried in place, you can cut out some black eyes and have them glue those on too!

My daughter loves carrying her ghost around with her and is SO PROUD of it! I hope your little one loves it too.

Happy Halloween!
PS Thanks Thriving Home for the fun idea.

Rainbow Mosaic

St Patrick’s Day is almost here. We have spring break on March 17th so I’m sure I will have to come up with lots of leprechaun theme activities for my boys, but we recently made a rainbow mosaic. At first my boys complained that it was too much work but once they got into it, they seemed to enjoy adding colors. Here’s how we made ours:
