    I hard boil the eggs, then let them draw patterns with crayon then submerge them in food dye. Looks awesome and they last until you make egg salad sangas - yum!

    Easter baskets (we made them at playgroup yesterday)
    Cut the bottom off a milk carton & use a pipecleaner for a handle. Decorate with stickers, etc

    Easter masks/ bunny ears

    cut out egg shapes out of cardboard & decorate

    Easter Bonnets/hats

    Chocolate making (melting chocolate & put into moulds) all be it I don't think much chocolate would make it to the moulds

    Easter colouring sheets (plenty of free ones on the internet)


    If you google Easter crafts for kids it comes up with heaps of stuff

    We buy a packet of milk arrowroot biscuits and decorate them like easter eggs with icing, sprinkles, mini marshmellows etc.

    Bumping this up again because I want to do some crafts today! It is bucketing down in Melbourne with no sign of it easing for a few days.
    Anyone have any other ideas for super dooper Easter crafts?? If I head to the shops I might do the Arrowroots as well next week.

    ETA: As always when I read an old thread my heart skipped a beat of sadness seeing Lu's posts. I remember reading this thread last year and doing the crayon eggs like she suggested.

    Tan I understand...

    We have made sugar biscuits in the shape of easter eggs yesterday and today are decorating them, we also have some felt and the glue gun and some wool and a thick needle to make some felt "easter bags" for the girls next week.... We painted egg shaped cardboard eggs and put a hole in the top and made a "banner" of sorts for the girls room as well this weekend. TBH we're getting over the easter crafts but thats okay, next week we will make our dairy free easter eggs and go from there. HTH
