Make your own Easter Tree to decorate your home or to use as a centerpiece at your table.
To make a basic tree you will need: A branch with many little twigs on it, clay or playdough, small plant pot, and decorations.
Place the clay or playdough in the bottom of the pot. Push the branch into the playdough or clay. Once it dries, it will hold it in place quite nicely. Then, add decorations to the tree.
For the decorations, you can either make your own at home or buy some from a craft or dollar store.
You can also decorate your pot using markers, glitter glue, stickers, or foam pieces.
As well, you can place the streamers from Easter baskets on top of the clay to decorate your pot.
Make this a family activity: Get together to make your own decorations for your Easter tree–more people means more ideas!
This activity promotes creativity and fine motor skills.
This is a safe and easy way to colour eggs for Easter.
To colour Easter eggs you will need: Hardboiled eggs (cooked in their shells), crepe paper (you can rip up party streams), water, and papertowel.
Take small pieces of crepe paper and wet them. Lay them over the egg until the egg is coloured. Set the egg on the papertowel to dry. Once the crepe paper is dried, peel it off. Some of the colour should have stayed behind to decorate the egg.
P.S. If you keep the eggs cool, you can eat them afterwards!
Make this a family activity: Get everyone together to make eggs.
This activity promotes creativity and colour awareness.
