getting ready for Easter

My friend Kelli moved home last year and left behind her Easter stuff for our family to enjoy - we've had a great time digging in to the goodies. The loot included two decks of Easter egg-shaped playing cards. I figured my little girls were a few years away from knowing how to play cards, so we've been coming up with creative "alternative" uses for the cards and turning them into craft supplies.

The first night Julianna and I hung the cards on the girls' bedroom door. (yes, in Julianna's book, scotch tape + easter egg shaped playing cards = craft!)


Then, on Tuesday morning, we made an Easter poster using LOTS of glue, a few stickers, and the playing cards.


Here she is with the finished project! We hung it on the inside of our front door.


Yesterday we made "easter necklaces" using the Easter egg playing cards, dried noodles and yarn.

Julianna asks every day to "do an Easter craft"... with 16 days left to go, I'm going to need a few more bursts of creativity to come up with something new to do each day!
