Easter weekend is one of my favorite weekends of the year. I love the beauty, sun and blooms of spring! The whole weekend brings so much JOY.
This year we spent an afternoon painting paper eggs. I love doing this craft because its super fun, easy, and I get to keep the eggs for decor around the house.
I lay out a long piece of kraft paper over my table to catch any spills and paint splatter. Then I mix the paints I want the kids to use (my only rule is pastels only!) and let them decorate the way they want. This year I even added some gold glitter to the eggs which made them so pretty and sparkly. I love that the eggs always turn out really beautiful no matter what the kids level of painting skill is. And an extra easy tip: cut an old toilet paper or paper towel roll into 2 inch pieces which make for a perfect little stand as they paint!
Last year I took the kid to a local apple farm and they loved it. We went again this year with some friends. Something about looking for eggs in an open farm field that is so fun!
We gifted the kids Easter baskets early this year so they could enjoy their little treats and goodies before our Sunday when we usually go to church. I love this because it doensn't interfere with our Sunday morning, and they get to use the basket when we do our farm hunt.
We also did a little chocolate egg Easter hunt around our house on Easter Sunday.
Hope your weekend was filled with the joy and hope of Easter!
