buttons made Easter bunny – DIY door hanger

Posted on April 17, 2014 | 2 comments

Easter fun is still on! Crafting with jeddo (grandfather) Maurice! A bunny made with colorful buttons to decorate the front door. We are enjoying every minute with my parents.

Very easy DIY door hanger for easter. All you need is a bunny cut out and buttons. Click here to download a high resolution file.

All you need to do is to fill the bunny tummy with buttons of different sizes and colors. Stick two eyes and a ribbon behind the ears for hanging.

Isn’t it attractive? Nady was fascinated with the colors. I love Easter, a happy and colorful holiday always coinciding with the spring season.

If your baby is still discovering with his mouth, avoid small buttons. Nady tasted all of them 🙂

It’s a fun way to teach the colors to your kid.

Guess who was more happy?!

The door hanger is ready! Easter decoration is almost done, we still have to decorate the eggs on saturday. Don’t miss this year’s special eggs. Wait for the post 🙂

spring/easter crafting – wooden spoon puppet – DIY – step by step

Posted on April 14, 2014 | Leave a comment

Wooden spoons are not just for mommy to use in the kitchen, kids can create cute characters such as Easter rabbit or chick and spring lady bug to go with the flowers we crafted before.

A very easy bricolage and a lot of fun. If your kid is under 3 years, paint the spoons yourself and let it dry before starting to play together. I recommend acrylic paint but don’t mix it with water for more vibrant colors.

Small details to stick with your kids such as pompom, wiggling eyes, feather…. are more instructional then you think. Learning the shapes, names, colors and you can extend the fun by telling stories about Easter and spring.

Lady bug:

Nady was so much interested and fascinated with the lady bug antennas.

Chick:

Adjusting the comb

… and the beak

Eh voila chick (le poussin)!

Rabbit:

Fixing the ears and nose

The three all together! they look so cute

After playing with the spoons puppet, it’s time to add them to our precious flower vase.

It was such a joy for him. He kept playing and contemplating their fascinating colors for an hour

We love the spring season and can’t wait for Easter!

So much fun and amusement made the first workshop a day to remember 6th april, 2014. Hopefully there will be more to come.

kids spring/Easter crafts, yellow flowers (DIY- step by step)

Posted on March 31, 2014 | 3 comments

The color festival is still on! Celebrate the spring and pre-easter season with your kids. Develop their fine motor skills, and teach them colors.

My boy is learning the spring season and the yellow color at the nursery. I thought of DIY yellow paper flowers. Why not? It could be the table centerpiece at Easter. Lets have fun!

First we need a vase. Empty cheese jar was an excellent idea. We decorated it with colorful japanese washi tape.

The minute I set down the material on the table, Nady showed an unbelievable excitement.

You will be surprised how much you can do with just papers; Pinwheel daffodil, marigold, daisy, tulip and geranium, for this time.

Follow me step by step on how we do the pinwheel daffodil.

Marigold:

Daisy, tulip and geranium. Click on flowers cut outs for a high resolution file.

Green straws for the stems.

Et voila!

Simply gorgeous! Nady was so happy, contemplating the beauty of the flowers.

So excited, he started to collect the flowers to make a bouquet.

Nady’s reaction to this activity was unexpected. I was extremely happy from his response. Crafting today was extremely beautiful and fun. He grabbed the vase and started to fill it with the flowers.

Busy boy 🙂 So proud of himself.

Two weeks ago we kicked off Easter spirit because we wanted this year decoration to be done by us. Usually this festive season coincides with the spring. Hello to the colorful crafting season!

Crafting should be fun, entertaining and instructive at the same time. My son loves everything hanging and dangling, so we decided to do a colorful bunny garland to decorate his play area.

To start with, you need to cut out bunny shape in different colors. Click on bunny to download a high resolution file of the cut out.
