Easter crafts from the archives

Today is the last day of school before the Easter break here, where the kids get two weeks off school, so I thought now was a good time to post a reminder of some of the Easter/Spring type crafts that we've done over the past few years, in case any of you fancy trying them.

I'm sure we'll be doing some new things over the Easter break, but you know what I'm like, we don't do crafts well in advance to blog about them at the right time. We do the crafts and then I blog about them with the excuse that you might want to do them next year! Ha! So, this is what I found in the depths of the badly organized Filth Wizardry archives of yore...
 

Easter egg hunt challenge and printables.

DIY daisy chain toy written for Alpha Mom, which I think should be appearing in one of the upcoming Family Fun Magazine issues too.

Rabbit ear paper plate hats for Alpha Mom.

Using left over plastic egg bases to make R2D2 secret storage containers.

 Origami bunny ear head bands

Ukrainian egg (pysanky) wall decorations for Alpha Mom.

A bit about the way we do egg hunts and why.

Weatherproof fairy toadstool circles made using the left over plastic eggs from your egg hunt.

Hope some of you fancy having a go at one or more of those ideas. I think we may have a bit of a weekend of crafting indoors here, because although yesterday was the first day of spring, today it has already snowed, hailed, and now it is raining/sleeting and blowing a gale, with more of the same forecast for tonight and tomorrow! Brrrrr.

We were going to go down to Bristol for it's Mini Maker Faire, but it looks like traveling in this weather isn't advisable. Thought I'd put the link in there though in case any readers are down south and nearer to it and might want to pop in. It's free and is from 11am until 3pm at Bristol's M Shed museum. This co-incides with the last couple of days of National Science and Engineering Week.
