The Bunny, The Egg & The Cross

My friend Alicia from Two Hens In The Kitchen sent me a copy of their Easter ebook and I think they've done a fabulous job of putting together teaching materials and crafts for kids. It's aimed at 2-6 year olds, but if you are working with a variety of ages in your home it could definitely be stretched further without issue.

It's a 9 day program that covers Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday with a little devotional and craft each day. I enjoyed learning more about Easter. I had no idea what Shrove Tuesday or Maundy Thursday were before this. Do you?

My favourite crafts are the Greek Easter Eggs (pictured above, as done by Alicia and kids) and the puffy tissue paper perfume bottle, sorry no picture yet. All the crafts have easy to follow instructions and are made from things either around your home or found at any dollar store. There are various template included in the ebook as well.

Anytime I come across something that helps me explain the real meaning of Easter in a meaningful way that's as fun as Easter Bunnies and chocolate I am always grateful, so thank you Ladies!

Happy Easter!

Glittery Easter Eggs

The kids and I made these colourful glitter easter eggs yesterday. I used the tutorial from No 2 Pencil for instructions on how to colour the eggs and it worked well, except that ours came out very dark. Neon food colouring and white eggs would probably turn out better. Still fun to do, though.

Then, after I used a hair dryer to finish drying them, we used Mod Podge to glitter one end of them. I got the idea from create. craft. love. I had the idea that white glitter would look really nice and just using one colour would be easier besides. Not so much. Almost half we did that way and it's chunky and uneven. The other half turned out much better with coloured glitter.
