Easter Fun!

Easter is always a great opportunity to add some art and craft time to your long weekend schedule.  I've compiled some fun ideas from some awesome sites for you!

Visit the Disney Family Fun website for loads of great ideas,

Enchanted Learning will keep you busy for a while,

Kaboose is also packed with ideas!

We made a cute little cotton ball lamb for an Easter craft:


I found the idea here.  They have a great step by step tutorial.

You will need:
Toilet Paper Roll
Glue ( I would recommend craft glue and not a glue stick like we used)
Black Felt
Black Pom Pom
Felt in any other colour for your bow
Black Pipe cleaners x 1
Scrap Paper
Wiggly Eyes
Cotton Balls

I pre constructed part of the lamb by inserting the scrap paper into the tube, adding the face with black felt, the eyes and ears as well as the pipe cleaner legs.  Just wrap the pipe cleaners around the tube.

I then covered the tube in glue and while holding it, Mouse stuck the cotton balls on.  Lastly we glued on the pom pom for a tail as well as the blue bow.  I trimmed the legs a bit to add a bit of stability.


She is very impressed with the lamb and very proud of how it turned out!
Hope you have a wonderful Easter long weekend!
