Easter Fun

In an effort to avoid storing an Easter basket, I came up with a not-so-typical basket for Hez that we'd be able to get use out of year round. A Boon Inc "Stash" organizer, filled with lots of art supplies. Paints, big chunky paintbrushes, chalk (I had no idea chalk came in that many colors!) and triangle crayons (easier for little ones to grip).Chalk was a hit, and he colored the sidewalk and his mouth.I think I may try to have Hez decorate a wooden egg every year as he grows, it would be cute to see them all lined up years from now. So since he isn't quite coordinated enough to actually paint an egg, we did a little tie-dye action. One coffee can, some craft paint and a wooden egg.Little bit of each color...Drop in the egg.Shake it up...or roll it.And that's it! Nothing fancy, but it came out cute and the baby got to be a part of it.And the colors are nice and springy too!Cutest 'green' eggs ever...Young House Love made some awesome all natural dyed wooden eggs for their baby girl. I might have to do this next year!
