So not only can you make bunnies and chicks, you can also make Easter eggs to go along with them! You can scroll on down to see my (terrible) painted Easter eggs.

How to Make Paper Roll Bunnies
It was another one of those mornings where I heard the birds chirping before I got out of bed. And then BAM, I looked out the window, expecting to see a lovely spring scene, but the ground was covered in a blanket of fluffy white snow. At least 4 inches of it. *big sigh* We had a snow storm last night that took us right back into the cold and white winter weather! I guess it IS actually beautiful, with the sunlight sparkling on the new snow covering the branches of the trees out front. It … [Read more...]

Lolly Pop Bunnies
I want to be that mom. You know the one. She's the one who sends really fancy treats to school for her kids' birthdays, and manages to always put together fancy gift bags for everyone in the class for EVERY holiday. Then my kids come home and say, "Next time, can we bake fancy cookies and decorate them like this for everyone in the class?". And I grit my teeth and mumble some kind of excuse, "Oh, I don't know honey, those look really hard to make!" I know. It sounds ridiculous given that I'm … [Read more...]
40+ Simple Easter Crafts for Kids
It's that time of year when bunnies and chicks and eggs are popping up EVERYWHERE! Except for in my backyard of course since, well, we still have about 6" of snow out there. Although, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure there's a small family of rabbits who live out in our bushes. When I was walking my 5 year old to school this morning there were fresh bunny footprints on the sidewalk that we were following. I was so tempted to tell her they were the Easter Bunny's footprints. But I … [Read more...]
