Easter Activities part 2

Decorating Eggs 

Step 1: Boil the eggs so they are hard boiled

Step 2: Put them in egg cups and start decorating them, this is when you go wild with your imagination. You can do whatever you want, as you can see from the picture I did flowers and my dad decorated his with stripes and lines. You could do a face on them, do an Easter scene or just simply cover them with dots! 

Easter Tree

It doesn't have to be Christmas when you buy a tree it can also be Easter! Here you can simply pick fresh flowers from your garden or simply by them from your local shop. The vibrant colors of the flowers will instantly change your mood from sad to happy when you walk through the room. This activity is perfect to do with children they will so excited!

For the decorations on the tree you can buy some online, I recommend to look at this website: http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/easter/easter-home/easter-home-decorations   or you can buy them at garden centers. If you don't have any Easter decorations this year then you could simply make them yourself! 

Easter Garden

You can make a garden like this one anytime however I like to keep it Seasonal, so in the winter I might do a Snow Garden with cotton wool, in the Autumn I might do trees and leaves and so on. As it's Easter I thought I would do an Easter Scene. I'm a Christian so I believe in Jesus, as Easter is a very special time for religious people I thought it would be nice to include it in my garden. However if your not religion you could make this into an Easter hunt instead with bunnies and chicks. This actual garden is meant to be the cave where Jesus walked out of after he came back from the dead. 

If you'd like to find out how to make this garden then please keep on reading......

Step 1: Find a bowl where you are going to put all your ingredients into! Make sure the bowl is not one you are deeply connected to and if you live with someone else make sure you ask them before using it

Step 2: Fill the bowl up with soil. Before you star doing this make sure your sleeves are rolled up because you're going to get grubby! 

Step 3: You then need to place a small garden pot at the back of the bowl and this will later on resemble as the cave. Cover the pot up with more soil, and press it with your finger so it is nice and solid. Try and cover as much as the pot as you can to make it really realistic.

The guinea pigs are having a peek!

Step 4: Place pieces of wood on top of your cave

Step 5: Try and find flattish pebbles and make a path leading from the cave to the edge of the bowl. Then go and pick up some grass and place it in between the path and the bowl.

Step 6: Lastly make the cross out of two twigs and a piece of string to tie it together. Place this on top of the hill.
