I like easy crafts for children. Below I’ve listed supplies needed and directions to make these fun creations. They are inexpensive to create, and all of them can be tweaked. Have fun!

Egg Carton Crosses

• egg carton
• ribbon
• flowers

You can add a heart on top, paint cardboard egg cartons, or use an already tinted Styrofoam carton.

Paper Plate Sheep

• white paper plates
• gray construction paper
• ribbon,
• googly eyes
• Sharpie
• glue
• cotton balls

I trimmed my paper plate first. To make the legs, just fold a strip of construction paper accordion style.

Button Easter Eggs

• construction or cardstock paper
• glue
• buttons
• ribbon
• paper punch

I used an Easter box to trace a sample.

Chick Easter Egg Holder

• construction paper
• toilet paper roll
• glue or glue sticks
• feathers,
• googly eyes
• plastic Easter eggs
• jelly beans

Have a blessed Easter!

Once a week, I make an afternoon snack for all the grandchildren. Usually, it’s something not too healthy. I decided to fill Mason Jars with fruit. It’s a bit time consuming but nutritional.

I used cardstock scraps and decorated the tops of the jars.

 I then added ribbon.

  

Of course, the snacks need to be refrigerator and eaten soon. These were chowed down within hours. Below is a picture of jars I filled with cake, pudding, and cool whip, probably their favorite snack. I may fill the jars with carrots, celery, broccoli, and other vegetables for an upcoming treat day. Maybe you have an idea.

Enjoy!
