Disney Family Fun Easter Crafts for the Kids

As ya'll know I have four kids and something you may or may not remember is I love almost every single holiday that comes by. So it shouldn't surprise you that I have been craft mad lately and will be posting crafts and how to make them in the next few days since Easter is around the corner. (I also have a holiday mom blog)

Have you seen the Family Fun Magazine yet? It has a ton of Easter crafts in it and here's a few of them. (thanks to Hannah Plotkin for sending this to me) I know my kids will want to do craft 1 and 2 first.

Crafts

- Sheep Egg: Courtesy of hard-boiled eggs, vibrant egg dye, a cute pipe cleaner stand, and some glued-on details (paper ears, pom-pom nose, and so on), this critter is an Easter favorite.


- Sock Hop: Make your own bunny beanbag and get some use from the single socks left behind.


- Pop-up Eggs: Make your Easter extra festive with this 3-D paper egg. The secret to its look is colorful, accordion-folded paper strips.
- Count the Days Till Easter: Save the eggs for dyeing, then use the carton to build anticipation for the bunny’s visit with this surprise recycled “calendar”.- Egg Pedestal: Display your finest blown egg on this easy-to-make stand.

Activities

- The Great Egg Drop: Kids construct protective coverings around raw eggs before dropping onto a target below. The goal is to hit the bull’s eye without breaking the eggs – making a little bit of a mess and a lot of fun memories!
 
- Less Sugary Easter Egg Hunts: Fill plastic eggs with puzzle pieces to make Easter egg hunts more fun and less sugary.
 
- A Kid-Friendlier Way to Dye Eggs: Put the eggs in wire whisks, and dip away!
