Easter is my favorite holiday, and the kid in me still looks forward to coloring eggs and waking up Easter Sunday morning to find the hidden basket of eggs, toys and chocolate. Of course, now I do the basket hiding, but it is still fun to watch kids find their basket.This year, you can save some green by letting your kids make their very own Easter basket. Let them pick out the color of the cotton fabric, and weave the fabric around the stiff rope. Adult supervision is necessary when using the tapestry needle.
Once your little ones have the dimensions they want in their handmade Easter basket, you can help them make the handle for their basket. Don't forget to take pictures for Grandma and Grandpa; they'll want to see the kid crafted basket too. Top off their Easter basket with plenty of chocolate, leaving room for these pretty dyed eggs.
My sister has a wooden tree swing in her yard. The children love it, often choosing it over the metal swing set that sits nearby. It's a nice place to sit and watch the children play, or just swing for a while, taking in the crisp autumn air. The wooden swing was there when they moved in. It probably had years of enjoyment before them, and they will leave it for the next family, I'm sure. If you think this would get the same kind of use in your yard, why not build one yourself? _thumbnail.jpg)
