Easter Crafting

Over the past few weeks we have really been getting in to the Easter themed craft activities.

Simple and easy and they all look fantastic when displayed amongst our home with all the decorations.

We used a printable found HERE and decorated these eggs with bits and pieces from our craft stash. ( I even had some egg wrappers from last year!!)

We used these sticker books (Coles for just a few dollars) and the Press Out book to create some goodies too!

We used the cute printable from Bianca at a little delightful to make gorgeous bunnies (I cut them all out , glued a button for a tail and they are on display and in frames around our home)

Angus loves to paint and make mess now too!

And also these cute chickens using another printable from a little delightful (thanks Bianca), the kids sponge and roller painted the chickens and then I cute their hand prints out of patterned card stock (then I can keep them )

So now we have a small flock of them adorning the linen cupboard doors.

And also these sweet chickens.

Just a circle face, some googly eyes and feather wings (I cut out tissue paper, serviette and small pieces of material and then the kids glued them on to the circle base to begin with ) The legs were great for practicing folding for the young kids.

And these are adding some cuteness to our boring Pantry door!!

A lazy Sunday activity from the Press Out Book (pictured above) a cute wreath that just needed to be glued, strung and hung. So sturdy too, so this will be added to the box and bought out again next year!

I have a few other activities prepped and waiting , but time is slipping away. Perhaps tomorrow or over the weekend!!

More Easter Decor

I have finally managed some time to share the rest of our Easter decor around our home. As previously mentioned and it is certainly NO secret, Easter is a love of mine. The colours, the bunnies , EVERYTHING!!

So here is the rest of our Easter - y decorating.

Not forgetting some yummy milkshake treats (they always taste better out of bunny straws and cute mugs of course , these are from Woolworths)

The lack of posts is bittersweet really. It means I am too busy to do something I love, but also means I am busy being a Mum, crafting, baking and running around. So bitter sweet x

A little Easter decorating

 I really love this time of year. Actually I love most of the celebrations seasons but the colours of Easter are just gorgeous. So I find it my weakness!!

I also love to decorate our home , and this year the kids are really into it!! They even cheered when the Easter storage box came out of the garage!!

So here is some of the decor from around our home at the moment.

And that's not all of it!!

Stay tuned for Part 2 of the decor, and our Easter crafting activities so far! x

Easter Decor

Finally sharing our Easter decorating in our home.

All items Bed Bath and Table (bar the egg we made last week with buttons) but over the past few years so may not be all available now.

Even some pretties in the Toy Room!

Hanging eggs from Spotlight, tree we have had for years in the kids rooms, and the bunny is from Ollie Rose

The pretty Eggs we decorated at Playgroup and home, hanging in the toy room.

On top of our bookcases in the main living area. Chook from BB&T, filled with plastic eggs from Spotlight and the yellow wreath and little pegs on chook are from a pack available at Target for $5 , I bought them last year but they are there again.

Simple tray of goodies on our dining table. Tray from Ikea, Glass jar from Target (was filled with Christmas candies) , now filled with plastic eggs from Spotlight. Small jar with foam eggs bought from Local party shop and a soft chook toy (given to kids at Christmas).

A few eggs a simple addition to our existing decor , these are also included in the pack from Target, its seriously a bargain! And yellow fluffy chook made from a plastic cup at Playgroup, CUTE!

                                                               Our sideboard display.

Our Easter books are displayed in a tin from Target (can you tell its the only department store we have here?)

And its finished with another jar filled with plastic eggs (cheap , easy and effective!) a birdhouse from BB&T(last year) and a cute bunny (also BB &T)

The next shelf has an Egg display spelling 'EASTER' , purchased from Thingz last a few years ago, and are displayed on a tray from Target.

Our Easter books, they are quite hard to come by in our town.

Easter Egg Hunt - is gorgeous, lift the flap, pull flat interactive book  (from Target)

Spots First Easter - Also lift the flap and simple for younger children (From Target)

Hop and Jump- Basic story but textured pages (from Crazy Clarkes)

And the Peter Rabbit Golden Book Set is adorable (From Target a few years ago)

Next on our list is the Anne Walker Easter book, Because I just love her books!

We also have some colouring pages ready to go, I find it easier that way , and I will post some links later on for them.

But one we have already completed, this is Stella's , isn't it gorgeous?! But I have already mounted and decorated it and put it in her art folder.

And last but not least, our chickens hang in pride of place on our Liatorp units in our family room, we made these last year!!

Phew, sorry for the photo overload, however we are getting quite the collection of Easter decos , and I LOVE IT!! However, it is making the weekly dusting chore a tad more difficult!!

Sorry for the delay in posts, I am having a few issues with Blogger, for some reason, my scheduled posts aren't working!

Do you decorate for Easter?

Easter crafting so far...

Its only early days, but we have already completed a few Easter crafting activities, but never fear, there is still a heap on our "To Do List!"

The kids LOVE glueing at the moment, and I prefer it over a painting craft ( I mean, who wouldn't?!) so this is perfect. Another take on our Handmade Hearts, but only Easter Eggs.

One is destined for our front Buffet display, and the others for the Toy room I think!

For the past few weeks, I have been in charge of organising the craft activity at Playgroup, and this is what we created on Friday! Simple Paper plates, foot print ears and cute fluffy noses!

And the week before we decorated paper plate Easter Eggs (we painted them the previous week so they had time to dry). Confetti, glitter, gem stickers, fluro spot stickers, alfoil, feathers, you name it , it all went onto the eggs and they turned out so well!  (We used the large , rather hard paper plates , they are about $5 for a pack).

As I said, the list is still full of activities, and really , there is only 2 weeks to do them!
