easter craft

last easter we made these little bunnies

to recreate these- follow same directions using fabric paint and pens.

this year i decided to change it up a bit.  we made easter cards using only the littlest hand in our house.  i let the boys write on the back of the cards.  here's how we did it:

notice i have baby wipes handy- they are helpful when you're painting.

you can use a paint brush, or your finger to cover the little hand.  really little ones tend to close their fists, so you may want some back-up to open the fingers!  we made white bunnies- brown or pink would be sweet too.

stamp the card with your child's hand, allow prints to dry

i let jack add the eye, heart nose and whiskers.

i made sure to give anna michael credit for all of her hard work.

finally i let the boys write messages on the back.  next we will send them out to some special people 

it's totally simple and it sort of looks like a bunny.  my favorite part? sending mail,  real mail.  i loved it as a kid (thanks to beth, my cousin & pen pal), really loved it in college, still look forward to it now!  there is something about a handwritten note that makes me happy. 

happy easter!
