Popsicle Stick Boxes for Easter and St. Patrick's Day
Last week I received a box of goodies from Oriental Trading company. And you know what craft items excited me the most? The popsicle sticks. I love popsicle stick crafts. Some of my favorite crafting memories were making popsicle stick boxes in summer camp. Today I'm sharing popsicle stick boxes that we made for Easter, St. Patrick's Day.... and Pokemon Day! (Ok, I made the last holiday up. We're just seriously crazy about Pokemon right now.)

Easter Egg Printing
I've been wanting to to try printmaking with my preschooler for awhile now. After seeing this great Easter Egg Printing post from The Artful Parent, I thought I'd give styrofoam printing a try. Styrofoam printing is cheap and doesn't (really) need any special materials. Sounds great, right? Today's Easter craft is making these neat Easter Egg Prints with your kiddos.
Egg-cellent Easter Egg Printing!

How to make Woven Easter Baskets
Easter is tomorrow! And if you're looking for a super easy and cute kids Easter craft.... this is it! Check out these woven Easter Baskets!
A friend left her strawberry baskets at our place the other day. I kept meaning to return them to her, but never got a chance. Oops. So they just kept staring at me this past week... whispering, "Craft with me, craft with me." Well, of course I had to obey their siren calls.
With all their open holes, I knew they would be perfect to practice weaving on!
(By the way- we've done so many weaving crafts over here that this was a nice one to add to the collection:

Woven Paint Chip Easter Egg Banner
Last Friday we held an early Easter get-together at our place. I wanted to "spring-ify" our place up, but didn't want to spend a fortune to do it. So during a trip to our local hardware store, I picked up a couple oh let's be honest, A WHOLE LOT of paint chips. (I can't help it! The colors... the colors!!!) And then I wove myself a colorful Easter garland. :)
Happy creating, friends!

Paper Bag Bunny Pinata
Last weekend we attended a friend's Easter party. It was so fun! The kids dyed eggs, played with play dough, went on an egg hunt, and broke open a paper bag bunny pinata. What? Yup. I know, Easter isn't usually associated with pinatas, but I made this super quick and easy pinata from a paper bag to add a bit more fun for the little guys.
Happy creating, friends!

4 Eggshell Crafts
Ah Easter. It's the holiday where everyone makes crafts featuring eggs and small fluffy animals. Over the years, I've made Easter egg weebles, Egg carton Wreath, Confetti eggs, and even this Cardboard bunny tissue holder . While looking through old posts, I saw that I have also done quite a few eggshell crafts too!
Eggshells are a great craft material because they're cheap AND you can easily change their colors. So today let's take a stroll down memory lane and review these 4 pretty awesome eggshell crafts.

Bunny Toilet Roll Napkin Rings
Does your family have fancy Easter dinners? That was never really the tradition in my family. Once I got married, we started attending hubby's aunt's Easter meals. Boy, oh boy- they were really, really special. We dined with fancy cloth napkins, silverware, and china. And we gorged ourselves on yummy ham, savory side dishes, and a large sampling of desserts. (Wow. I can't believe I'm actually drooling just thinking about that meal.)
Try as I may, I don't think I'll ever achieve that kind of amazing Martha Stewart-esque domestic achievement. Cooking for large groups of people freaks me out. But if we were to ever host a large Easter meal, it'd probably involve paper plates, plastic cutlery, paper napkins, and maybe these bunny toilet roll napkin rings. (You know, to fancy the meal up just a tad bit.)

Easter Photos
Melted Crayon Easter Eggs |
Since we were away in Australia for a bit, Easter really snuck up on me this year. I felt like I didn't have time to prepare my heart for what it meant, and I didn't have time to prepare too many Easter crafts for the kids to do. Fortunately, the holiday still came and went with a lot of joy, fun, and crafting. This year we attended two Easter celebrations, one with a couple of good mommy friends, and the other with family.
As a mommy (and a blogger), I always try to bring my camera whenever we attend get-togethers. I think those events are special and I want to capture all the beautiful memories, yummy food, and funny moments that inevitable occur. But lately, I've noticed that when I pull out the camera to snap photos, I also miss out on a bit of the moment's magic. Sure, I've captured a memory in photograph, but I also wasn't really a part of it (probably because I'm fiddling around with camera knobs... blech technology). Does that make sense? Does anyone feel that way too?
Anyway, I guess this was a really long intro to just explain why this year's photos were kind of lacking... and why my shots were mostly of crafts. We loved celebrating Easter with friends and family this year.... and I was just having a bit too much fun beiing in the moment to stop and capture the moment.

Make Easter Egg Weebles
This Easter we had a lot of fun hanging out with family and friends. I kept meaning to take lots of photos.... but I was having too much fun doing activities with the kids. I'll try to upload my one or two photos this week. Today I just wanted to show you this really quick DIY Easter Egg Weeble Craft. Yup, you read that right. I made Chuck a couple of cute little Easter Egg Weebles from plastic Easter Eggs. They're weighted, so they don't fall down. (Scroll down for a video of Chuck trying to run them over with a Jeep... yup... that's my kid.)
If you still have your plastic eggs lying around, you might like making these little guys too. Keep reading to find out more!

Marshmallow Peeps Play Dough
After celebrating many, many Easters.... I've realized something. I have a love-hate relationship with Peeps. On the one hand, they're just so cute and colorful. I want to pinch their squishy blobby cheeks. On the other hand, they're way too sweet and taste gross on their own. Blech! If you dislike the way they taste too, here's a fun activity to try with your uneaten sweets. Microwave them and turn them into some Marshmallow Peeps Play Dough.!
I found the original recipe from Tip Toe Fairy. The dough is fun to make, edible (although yuck, I still think it tastes way too sweet), and will certainly wow any kids at your Easter gathering. Keep reading to see how we made our Peeps Play Dough!

DIY Easter Bunny Bean Bag Toss
Tomorrow the theme is bunnies at our library toddler group. We're going to make paper bag bunnies and play a bunny game too. Since I already had this lovely large piece of cardboard, I made a really simple Cardboard Easter Bunny Bean Bag Toss game.... complete with... wait for it... carrot bean bags.
Ack. Too adorable. Too adorable! (Btw, is it strange that I swoon over large pieces of cardboard?) Hrmm... anyway... hopefully the kids will have fun playing tomorrow. But even if they don't, I'm just going to lug this guy home and prop him up against my wall. His cheesy grin is just too cute.

Sharpie Tie Dye Shirt
It's Monday and we've finally started returning to our normal sleep schedules. (Yes!) And now that we're back and settled in, I realized that Easter is right around the corner. Yikes. Is it April already? It totally snuck up on me this year. So here's my first semi-Easter related tutorial: Sharpie Tie Dye Shirt
Wait, what does this shirt have to do with Easter? Well, kids seem to wear cute, colorful outfits on Easter. (See last year's DIY I heart Peeps Shirt.) A friend graciously donated a bunch of clothes to us and one of the items was a blank white shirt. It screamed "Paint me, paint me." And so Chuck and I used it to make this year's Easter shirt together. Keep reading to see how we made it!

Easter egg crafts
Hi everyone!
I hope you had an egg-cellent Easter.
We had a really nice time eating and celebrating with our egg-stended family.
I think I went a bit overboard with this Easter's egg-related crafts:
Inspired by Krokotak's egg carton hens, I made my own chicken and ladybug egg holders.
I also blew out a bunch of eggs, colored them, and then turned them into confetti eggs for our family Easter egg hunt.
Blowing out the eggs:
I used a safety pin and pricked the top and bottom of the egg. Then, I used the safety pin to enlarge the bottom hole. Then, I placed my mouth over the smaller top hole and blew the egg out over a bowl. Once the egg was emptied, I rinsed the shell out and left it to dry on a paper towel.
Marbleizing eggs with nail polish:
Once the eggs were hollowed out, my sister and I marbleized some of the eggs using Camille Styles' instructions. (Note: Her eggs came out beautifully! As you can see, I had a lot of trouble getting even results. Maybe it's because my nail polish was the cheap 2 dollar kind... or too old? Or, perhaps my water wasn't the right temperature? Hrmm... Did anyone else have trouble making these eggs?)
Designing with masking tape and dying eggs:
I had much better luck dying the rest of my eggs. Hubby and I used masking tape to first create designs and then we dyed them. To create each color, we simply combined 1 cup of boiling water, 20 drops of food coloring, and 2 teaspoons of vinegar in a large mug. Then, we held our eggs in the dye until they took on the hue that we liked.
Filling the confetti eggs:
Once all the dye dried (and the nail polish smell dissipated... yuck), I filled the hollowed out eggs with rice krispy treats (poured through a simple funnel made from rolling a piece of paper) and sealed up the holes with masking tape.
The kids had fun finding these special eggs and stomping on them to reveal the rice krispies within.
Although these eggs were fun to make, it was even more fun to see the kids smile each time they found a special "stomping egg."
Happy Monday!
