Easter Decorations Your Kids Can Make

I went into a store the other day to look for Shamrock sprinkles and had no luck.  In fact, I realized there wasn't a single St. Patrick's Day item in the entire store!  Everyone seems to have skipped over St. P's day and gone right to Easter!



I realize that Easter really isn't too far away, so I've made peace with skipping over St P's day and heading straight to Easter.



So I decided it would be fun to show you a few fun and simple ways you can decorate for Easter while getting your kids involved!



Easter Egg Garland using Paint Chips - your kids would have fun cutting and stringing this cute garland!


Make these simple "apothecary" jars with recycled jars (she used pickle jars) and painted candle sticks!  Your kids will have fun filling these with Easter treats or decor!


How cute are these Easter Egg Candles!  


Ok, I couldn't help but sneak in one of my favorite Easter projects from last year!  By using a flower punch, creating this fun Easter Egg would be a fun project for your kids to do this year!


How cute are these Egg Finials!?  And they are really super easy to make!  


Cute egg picture using buttons.  This it a great project for young children to practice their fine motor skills!  And it is super cute!


Have fun decorating for Easter!
