who wants a lolly ?

 
Who wants a lolly ?
Go to bed and kiss your dolly .

 
These colourful lollies are fun and easy to make
so the kids can really get into the party spirit .
All you need are some plastic balls , I got mine from Big W ,
some cellophane and some curling ribbon .

 
Wrap the cellophane around and twist the ends to
make them look like lollies .

 
If you wrap the same colour cellophane around the
 same colour balls it looks really good !

 
Hang them inside or out they look so happy .
Also if you use coloured balls instead of styrofoam balls
they make a great take home gift instead of
the usual lolly bags .

 
I love mine so much they're staying up for good .

no chocolate easter

 
I don't eat a lot of chocolate .
This probably offends some people so I am sorry .

 
I do know I am not the only one ~ some people don't eat it at all !
 
I made some crepe paper carrots and filled them with popcorn.
 
They look happy and fun !
They are very , very quick and easy to make . 
 

 
Just cut a large triangle from orange crepe paper.
Cut a long strip of green crepe paper.

 
Fold the triangle in half along the long edges and tape together .
Fill with popcorn or whatever you can use nuts or lollies even .
Pull the top of the carrot together and tape it closed .
Wrap the long green strip around the top and secure with tape .
Cut the greenery with scissors to make it frilly .

 
So there you go , even if you don't have chocolate you
can still have some Easter fun !

easy Easter craft for kids


Easy , easy and almost mess free !


All you need is colourful paper even old magazine pages
and cardboard an old cereal box will do .


Tear a pile of colorful pages into small scraps .
The kids love this part .


Glue all the little pieces to the cardboard .


Turn the cardboard over and draw
some eggy shapes and cut them out .


Use a holepunch and put a hole in the top of the eggshape .
Thread some ribbon through and you're done !

These don't take long and is a great way
to distract the kids from saying

"When again is the Easter Bunny coming ?"
