Easter Egg Decorating Idea

Some years I dread the dying of Easter Eggs.  It's messy, I fuss about the kids potentially dying the entire house, I just don't wanna.  But I saw this super cute idea on Pinterest and had to try it!  I'm not sure what the original link is, the one I pinned is just a photo of eggs with beautiful temporary butterfly tattoos on them.

I rummaged through our tattoo collection... all I could find were Halloween themed tattoos, patriotic, and dinosaurs. Pretty much sums up my family! It was just as easy as putting temporary tattoos on the children, and less messy than dyes.  Personally, I much prefer dinosaurs over little bunnies and chicks on our eggs!

Knit Bunnies

These super cute Knit Bunnies can be found via Ravelry, a site for knitters and crocheters.  The pin can be found on my "Easter" board.

These are PERFECT for a gift, decoration, probably could stuff them with cat nip as cat toys (which I probably will!).  An easy pattern, great for beginners, easy techniques, and knits up fast!!

The pattern said to use needle size US 6, but I used US 4. I liked the tighter knit look, plus if I decide to stuff with catnip, there is less likelihood of the catnip coming out if I knit tighter.  

Quick, grab your needles and make some for Easter!!

Kids Crafts: Easter

My daughter LOVES to do crafts, and with Easter being in just under two weeks, we rushed out, stocked up on cotton balls, and decided to try the Paper Plate Easter Bunny Craft that I had pinned under "Easter". 

The craft was cute, used items we had around the house (except cotton balls, I was shocked that we were out!).  However, after completing her bunny face, my daughter was completely bummed out that we ONLY did the face and decided to make her own bunny to include the body and tail.

 

I have to admit... I kind of like her idea a little better, it allowed for more creativity instead of just following my directions.  But both are very cute (of course I think so, she is MY daughter!!).
