Spring Chicken Snacks.
Get ready for spring with a fun, yet healthy snack. These hatching eggs are a perfect to munch on after school and just as fun to make. Simply hard-boil a few eggs and cut a few carrots. You’ll need a carton of 12 eggs, two whole carrots – peeled, a knife, wood skewer, and a mini “E” alphabet fondant cutter. Boil and peel the eggs. Next prepare the legs. Cut the carrots into three-inch strips and into ¼ inch slices. Use the “E” cutter to cut out the feet and then use the skewer to punch a hole in the middle of the foot to attach the leg. Poke two holes into the eggs and attach the legs. Voilà! You have cute little snacks to serve.
Egg Gardens.
Spring is a time for new life. This educational craft is a great way to teach your kids about nature. Using eggshells, create a micro garden. Fill the egg shells with dirt and plant little seeds in the soil. Put them in an open egg carton and keep them by the window. Just be sure to water them frequently.
Mason Jar Crafts.
Make use of all the mason jars around your home. Give them a springtime twist by adding a pop of color. They’ll look just like Easter eggs. Start by painting your mason jars a solid base color. Just be sure to add a couple coats of paint and let it dry. Next come up with a pattern ad use tape to execute it, or let your kids’ imaginations run wild. It’s a great activity to let your kids express their creativity. Once they’re done, surprise your little ones by filling the jar with candies and springtime goodies.
