Easter Garden Flag Decoration

In our street lives a lady who has these very cute Garden Flags and she changes them everytime there is a celebration, holiday, or change of season. Now she has an Easter Flag and my daughter really loves it.

I looked it up on internet to see if I could find one, but I found myself with 2 problems...one, Easter is next week...two, they are so expensive! (and even more if you ask for faster shipping).

So, why not make one ourselves...this was the best idea ever for a beautiful day like today's! We had so much fun in the garden! And the flag, one of a kind!

Here is how we did it:

What I used was a old bed sheet as canvas. I googled for some Easter Rabbits Coloring Pages and this one was the one I liked and tried to copy it on the fabric. (If you find it difficult to draw it yourself, just make a bigger scale print and trace it)

After I copied, I grabbed an old box and used some painters tape to hold it.

Some paint, brushes and an apron....and let your child be creative...I promise you, you will see the most beautiful garden flag EVER!

This is our New Easter Garden Flag!

I loved the detailes...look at her signature with a spider next to it and the ladybug!

The Letter R is for Rainbow, Rabbit (Easter?) and Rooster

The Rainbow

Today is a perfect day for a Rainbow!!!

What we need:

• A paper plate (With the same plate we will also make the Easter Rainbow Rabbit!!)
• Scissors
• Art tissue paper
• Glue

First we cut the center of the plate leaving a border and a circle. We cut the border in two. Now we have a crescent or half border that we are going to use for the rainbow.

We cut the tissue paper

Glue it on the border using the colors of the Rainbow. On each end also a couple..

She was so proud!

Ready!

The Easter Rainbow Rabbit

With the circle of the plate we used before, we made this cute little Easter Rainbow Rabbit (Easter because it will be Easter next week...LOL).

We draw a rabbit on the circle. You can download the one I made and copy it.

Draw or copy the rabbit

Cut the 2 circles for the rabbit to have "hands"

Put some color on it!

Isn't it cute?

Rooster footprint

I found this Idea on this website Crafty-Crafted.com. So cute!! The only things you need for this project are:

• Blank paper
• Yellow and red paint
• Orange felt, paper, foam for beak
• An eye
• And a foot!

The materials!

Paint the foot yellow and the toes red...

She had so much fun with this activity! I had to put this picture here!

Stamp it on a blank paper. Glue on the beak and the eye (yes, I know...a little big, but that was the only one I had LOL). With your child's thumb and red paint, make the wattle! I really think this is unique! So cute!

Cute Egg Holder for Easter

Do you want to know about a nice way to start talking about Spring? Easter? Or maybe practice geometry? Or just paint? I am sure you have all the materials at home to make these Cute Egg Holders!

What you need is:

1. One toilet roll
   
2. Print one of these attachments (colored or blank available)
   
3. Paint and colours
4. Scissors / Glue
5. Eggs, if you like.

Here you can download the PDF Files.

If it is too dificult to cut the eyes with the scissors, you can use the Push-Pin tecnique.

When she was ready I asked her which ones were circles, how many were there...until she got borred of so many questions!

The best part is to put this puzzle together! And glue...

We made the egg holder with a toilet roll cut in 2 and we painted it.

All done....
