Children love to create things. They love to use their imaginations. You don't have to teach them rocket science for them to feel like they have created a masterpiece.

The Sentimental Special~ All you need for this craft is construction paper, paint and a small hand. Let your child print their hand and then turn it sideways and decirate it. It's an instant Easter bunny, and a memory mommy will treasure forever.

Egg Buddys~ Decorate plastic eggs. Glue a cotton ball to the bottom for a tale. a stretch cotton ball would make a good set of ears for your bunny friend. Cut colorful pipe cleaners in small pieces for whiskers and glue them on. You can use a marker to add more details to the face. Glitter will also give it a special touch.

Easter Flower Pots~ This is a very popular kids' activity. Decorate a styrofoam cup, or small pot. You can paint it, glitter it, or stencil it. Add potting soil to the cup, place a flower seed in, and cover. Children will enjoy watching this grow for weeks to come.

Remember art is about having fun. Crafts is about creating. It doesn't have to be perfect. You don't have to follow step by step instructions. Use your imagination and great things will unfold.
