Kids Crafts : Easter Decorations

The Range opened near us recently, so while we were out shopping for new children's shoes we decided to stop in and see what they had to offer. We found these crafty bits in the children arts & crafts section, costing £1 each and thought they were perfect for some Easter crafting. There were several Easter shaped cardboard decorations to chose from, including eggs, chicks, rabbits and flowers.


The children always enjoy getting messy with paints and today's Easter decorations went down a treat. My eldest chose the tulip flower and my youngest opted for the egg; they both then started to paint them in various colours. Whilst they were painting they were also learning about mixing colours together and were asking about, and experimenting with, what several colours created when they were mixed together.


The results took a while to dry (due to the large amount of paint applied to them both!) but they are now proudly displayed, just in time for Easter. I even had a chance to create one myself to hang in mine and my Husband's room.

  2. Another family that didn't do any Easter crafts. I had every intention of but the holiday has gone so quick that I simply haven't had the time to get the stuff and we've been so fortunate with the weather that we've mostly been outside.
