An Eggcellent Adventure Into the World of Crafts

 

Spring is almost upon us. And upon the heels of Spring is the pitter pattering feet of Easter which generally indicates Spring break. If your children are anything like my daughter, the first two days of break will fly by as easily as a greased pig slips through a farmer's grasp. However, by day three the novelty of being home with mom will have quickly worn off.



But never fear my dear friends for I am here to help you ward off the bluey blues of boredom with some simple craft ideas. Some of my favorite materials of choice when it comes to crafting are paper, sticky backed foam in various colors, glitter, and stick on gems. If you happen to have these things in your arsenal of crafting supplies, you will go far.



For today's craft you will need to go to one of my favorite sites  called Coloring Book Fun. Here you will find several very large Easter egg coloring pages. Simply print off the eggs of your choice and you will be ready to begin an eggcellent adventure.

When my daughter and I started, we chose two eggs. First we chose the egg with what looked like four flowers and leaves. Next we chose the egg with three crosses which coincidentally turns out to be super appropriate for Easter. To make leaf and cross patterns, I simply printed off extra copies of each egg so that I could cut out the pieces I wanted to trace onto the foam. Then I let her color, stick, glitter, and craft away!



While not in the league of Faberge eggs, both she and I were happy with the results and we proceeded to tape them to the front of our dining room fireplace. So this Spring break when your special half pint starts the "I'm bored" song and dance, just crack open your crafting supplies and makes your very own beautiful eggs.
