Easter basket and easy Easter craft!

March 13, 2016 by tgoddard04 Leave a Comment

I am excited to share what I am doing for an Easter basket and an easy Easter craft I did this weekend. When I was little I remember getting an Easter basket filled with candy and toys – my son is too young for a ton of candy but I have got toys covered! I also  wanted to ensure we had an easy craft for Easter that my family could enjoy together and I found one!

Last year when he was still under a year I bought an Easter basket and started filling it with fun goodies and items he needed at the time.

  • New sippy cups
  • Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles

  • New bath toys
  • Summer hat
  • Plush bunny

This year my son is a bit older and I haven’t gotten the basket together YET but here are my items I plan to stuff the Easter Basket with:

  • Local baseball team gear
    • We are attending a Washington Nationals game the week after Easter so I am getting him a new T-shirt and hat
  • More bubbles (he loves them)
  • Crayons/ book
  • New sunglasses
  • Bunny ears to wear for family dinner (or at least 30 seconds to get a photo J)
  • Sunscreen
  • Easter board book
    • I plan on stalking the Target $1 section for other cheap basket stuffers!

 

Now for our easy Easter craft – my son is still young to do any crafts that really require concentration so this one was perfect and a bonus – we got to enjoy the awesome weather! Here is what we did:

  • Buy poster board and trace an egg on it

  • Take tape and place it over the egg in whatever design you want
  • Take side walk chalk and a small cup of water and head out to the driveway/ side walk!
  • Show your child how to dip the chalk in the water
    • This is totally optional – but it makes the chalk more paint-like

MBF Easter 9

  • Have your child draw all over the poster board

  • Once they are done (or in my case he started wandering) cut out the egg and peel off the tape
    • If the egg is actually colored in when you take the tape off you will have neat white stripes. In our case we had a ton of whitespace but hey it was fun and Landon LOVED doing this. There is always next year for my little Monet

Hope you found a good idea or 2 on how to celebrate the upcoming holiday in this post.

Till next time, Tiff
