Analog Activities

Technology is a wonderful thing, but sometimes it's great to turn the electronics off and let the kids use their hands and get dirty. Real dirt, not digital dirt. Since Easter is coming up I thought it would be great to show you a couple of easy peasy Easter crafts.

The first one comes from The Mother Huddle. It's a simple cotton ball and construction paper rabbit made from a cup! I think you could easily just cut eyes and a nose and whiskers from construction paper as well, if you didn't have pipe cleaners and spare buttons.

See? Easy, huh?

The second craft of the day is foam Easter egg magnets. Detailed directions are available at No Time For Flash Cards. My daughter loves to color and draw and she thinks that every picture she does should be hung on the refrigerator, so extra magnets always come in handy around our house. In addition to eggs, it would be easy to do cotton ball rabbits as magnets instead. Enjoy the crafts!

Very festive!
