Easter Crafts??

[Kimmumum]

I am a daycare provider and I always do some kind of craft with the kids for their parents (the kids are 1 and 2). The only Easter craft I can come up with is.....make an Easter basket out of cardboard, take pictures of the kids and cut them out in the shape of eggs and fill the basket. I'll put a magnet on the back also.

Does anyone have other cute ideas? I've done things with cutting out the shapes of their hands or feet. I've made a t-shirt for mom on mother's day last year that says "Best mom hands down" and then put their hand prints in paint and put them all over the shirt. I've done a shirt for dad that says "I walk all over daddy" and put their feet in paint all over the shirt. I can't come up with much for Easter. HELP!!

Try these sites: dltk-kids.com & makingfriends.com . I love both of them. They have things for all ages and stuff. Also familyfun.com, though they might be for kids a bit older. Good luck!!

It's tough where they are so little. -

If you cut out some lambs on stiff paper, maybe the 2-year-olds could glue those foam packing peanuts on for "wool." (saw in a book)

If you are daring - "marble paint" on egg-shaped paper. Put the paper in the bottom of a shallow box. Squeeze some different colors of washable paint in a few spots, and drop in a marble. The kids tilt the box back and forth, and the marble spreads the paint around in pretty patterns.


Gotta meet the bus, but will log back on later if I think of something really great. Good luck!!
