I’m looking forward to some nice quality time with my kids over Easter. There’s nothing more I enjoy than having the time to get down to some art and craft with them, and what better motivation than an event to get me focused.
Martha Stewart – www.MarthaStewart.com – bona fide all-round domestic goddess, has a super range of easy and fun Easter crafts to enjoy with your child (and ideas for just about any cooking/decorating/crafting theme you can think of, anytime!)
I’m not the most capable crafter, or cook, in the world, but I am feeling cautiously optimistic about the ideas below. I’m planning to make most of these with my children (how utterly tastefully beautiful are those bunny ears!!?).
I’m hoping that the Easter Chick Cupcakes will be a big hit in my kids’ kindergarten class where I’m parent-helping on Thursday. We’re going to be baking the cupcakes and making the icing from scratch, then decorating them before packaging them into take-home gifts then enjoying a ‘Bunny Brunch’.
They’ll be 20 kids, and we have 2 hours to do the job. How hard can it be? I’ll be sure to keep you posted!
Update: See the results here!
A. How to Make Envelope Bunnies: I love this cute, easy and practical option. Even the littlest bunny can help with the glueing, and filling the envelope.
B. How to Make Easter Bunny Box: A little book and a couple of chocolate eggs inside this very elegant box are sure to delight.
C. How to Make Pipe Cleaner Chicks and Basket: Don’t you just love the versatility of pipe cleaners. these chicks are so much tweeter than their store-bought counterparts.
D. How to Make Bunny Ears: These are the chicest bunny ears I have ever seen. They’d look great using brown paper instead of pink to make hoppy brown ears.
E. How to Make Pom Pom Bunnies: Super cute bunny pals. The perfect buddy for any egg treat.
F. How to Make Silk Print Easter Eggs: This image does not do this amazing egg craft justice: the results are absolutely *stunning*!! Use old silk ties, a non-metal pot, water, and some vinegar, and be filled at the wonderment of the alchemy between them. Kids can help with the slection of the ties, the wrapping and tieing, unwrapping and ‘glazing’.
