Easter Line Up

Easter is just one more hop away. Are you ready for April 4th, which is when the bunny should hop on by your house? Whether you are or are not your children are probably bouncing off the walls by now waiting to do something. So, here's a list to help you out!

Easter Craft Ideas:
I have a Growing Easter Bunny Print you can do that I've done ever since my first was a baby. I'd love to see pictures if anyone does this one, just leave a comment. Now if your little guy/gal loves to color or paint you may want to head over to Printables for Kids and print some of those cute Easter Coloring pages out. Don't forget Family Fun Magazine just came out with their Easter crafts for kids and I have a few listed here for you

MomChats has a simple bunny craft for your little ones to draw and color.  San Diego Family has created a cute little pom-pom Easter Basket your kids can make and go easter egg hunting with. They also have a Rainbow Bunny and a Cupcake bunny you can make.  The Crafty Crow has a few Easter Egg ideas for your little guy/gal to have fun with. Don't forget to explore this site as there are a ton of fun crafts for you and your little one to do.

Sizzix has some cute Easter crafts for kids, here's one girls would love to do it is a flower crown. (take a peek at the pretty flower crown here)Oh and boys could always do it minus the streamers and make it into a crown for a King. Of course my favorite is the flower dress, which I think any little girl would get a kick out of making.

Katelyn Thomas over at GadAboutMedia has been creating Easter Garland for us. Just look at those cute little lambs. Or learn about how to naturally dye your Easter Eggs over at Gigglepotamus, these are some really pretty eggs.

Want to make some embroidered eggs? Chloe over at GadaboutMedia has you covered with her "How-to of the day: Embroidered Easter Eggs."  It even comes with step-by-step pictures to help you out. Don't forget to check out Noreen's "Adorable Doodled Paper Eggs" over at Tottie Talks Crafts, she also has a lot more crafts for you to try out if you explore her blog. I love those doodle dolls.

Everything Mom has a variety of easter craft ideas and stories. She's got crafts like the Easter Tree, hippity hop creatures, finger puppets, Easter Craft Masks and much more. Hop on over to read the rest.  The Kaboose has a ton of Easter Crafts and activities to do too. You will find easter bunny cracker treats, yes easter treats. There are bunny masks, egg bunny, sleepy bunny, bunny ears, bunny basket and much more.

Easter Treats & Food:
I'm not going to lie, I'm not a great cook but I enjoy having fun on the holidays and making a meal or two. Many times my issue is I can't figure out what to make, but with these helpful ideas I think I'll have fun this Easter. I would really like to try the Easter Basket Cake and see if I can get that basket look down. Don't you think Linette did an amazing job at that? Before you ask, the chocolates you see on that cake can be found over at Kids Fun Reviewed where she has the recipe for those Chocolate eggs.  Yesterday Linette posted about the Easter Bunny in an Egg Cake and made everything look so easy to make. Check it out!

Still got a sweet tooth or just want to continue with the fun? That's okay, Char has a cute little chocolate Easter bunny cake over at Celebrate-it and a whole list of items to include for an Easter Bunny Party. I think my kids would've like the plastic eggs and Lollipop bouquet the best. One last cake before we move on to centerpieces, this one is a white bunny cake with 5 easy steps.  The only thing I didn't come across was a carrot cake, man I think I'll have to do that one myself.

Centerpieces:
Not everyone has kids and even those that do have kids will find this craft a fun one. Make a paper mache easter egg center piece for your table that your guests will be oohing over. Not only do these look really nice, it is a cheap centerpiece to make.  Or you could head over to the Dollar store and get these cute Dollar Store Easter Party Centerpieces.  Maybe you'd like to add a bit more elegance to the table, try it with some Spring Inspired bouquets.

Basket Ideas:
Over at Toy Wish List there's a 5 easter toy ideas for boys I think would be perfect for an Easter gift for your little man.
