Basket Breakdown

Here is a quick rundown of the goodies I've collected for Ariana's Easter basket.

- The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. You know, from Peter Rabbit's family.

- Crayola colored bubbles. We had fun with these last year.

- Goody's spring colored hair clips. 

- Wind up hopping chick. Adorable!

- Easter puzzle. Found this in the value section. This child loves puzzles

- Easter putty. Also found in the value section, we'll see how long this lasts.

- The Tale of Jemima Duck. I love Beatrix Potter stories.

- Chocolate Easter Bunny. We got this from The Chocolate House in Luxembourg. It cracked but we're just going to tell her the Easter Bunny was hopping too fast, ha!

- Pink bunny soaps and sponges. For some bathtub fun.

*Not pictured I just picked up a egg filled with M&M's to tuck in there, if I have room.

What kinds of things do you put in your kid's baskets?

Watercolor Eggs

Beautiful and easy to make, these watercolor eggs are an activity everyone can enjoy. 

I can't believe it's only a week left until Easter. Seriously, Spring is flying by! If you're looking for a fun Easter activity that involves eggs, you can make these fun watercolor eggs. These were fun to do with my 3 year old, but older kids could be more creative with them. And I really enjoyed sitting on the patio with my coffee creating these little cuties.

For supplies you will need: watercolor paints (I just used the cheap kid ones), hard boiled eggs, water, paintbrush and watercolor pencils. I used General's Kimberly Watercolor Pencils since I already had those.

There are several ways to make designs. Play around with them to see which way you like the best. For some of my eggs, I drew simple designs on them and then painted watercolor over the top in the same color. I really liked the way this turned out. 

For other eggs, I painted them first and then before they were completely dry I drew on them with the pencils. This was fun too.

Remember they don't have to be perfect. I let some of my paints drip and run to create a pretty look.

Once your eggs are dry use them as table decorations are hid them for your kids to search for.

Fun for kids and adults alike.

 Have fun and happy Spring!

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever, but I promise I'm coming back! 

I had a little photo shoot with some peeps in honor of Easter. I love these mint green ones, they are so pretty!

I hope all my Christian friends had a lovely Easter Sunday with friends/family. Ariana and I had a good time celebrating Spring. I took some pics but I'd rather be crafting so I'm not posting a picture post today. I'm off to be crafty!! :)

P.S. I'll leave you with only ONE confession today.

*I don't even like peeps, YUCK! I only bough them to take pictures of! hehe :)*
