If you're in need of something to do read my posts and post comments to let me know if you had fun with the activity. Thank all of you for reading my blog!

Easter

Spring is upon us and Easter is arriving in a little over a week... we must prepare :) Here's some fun Easter decorating projects that you probably already know but anyway here it goes....

1. Egg dying (one of my favorites)
  1. Hard boil some eggs
  2. Get a bunch of different colors of food coloring out and get a bowl for each color
  3. Fill each bowl with about 2/3 cup of hot water and 2tbs of vinegar
  4. Add one color of food coloring to each bowl
  5. place a hard boiled egg on a spoon and dip the egg to a color of your choice
  6. Keep the egg in there until it has a good amount of color to it
  7. You can do half of the egg one color and half of it another color by dipping half the egg in one color and the other half in another color. 
2. Easter Egg strings (this one is especially for kids who love to color)
  1. Either draw some Easter eggs for your kids to color in or print out uncolored Easter egg coloring pages off the internet
  2. Use Crayola Washable Markers, crayons, or colored pencils and color them in with your kids
  3. You can do designs ad different colors
  4. The do a single hole punch in the top of each Easter egg 
  5. Take a piece of string and thread it through each hole
  6. Then, you can hang it in a doorway or over a window
3. Chocolate Hunt (fun on a rainy day)
  1. get a pack or two of Hershey's mini chocolate eggs
  2. hide them in corners and little nooks and cranny's in the house, such a drawers, staircases, corners, shelves, chairs, etc
  3. Let the kids go hunt for them
  4. At the end see who collected the most to add a little competition to it
  5. The eat away!
Enjoy!
