Despite the snow flurries and the fact that the wind chill is nineteen degrees and the illness, we are trying to do some easy activities here to enhance our Easter weekend! Here are some sites I came across with some different Easter activities for both you and your kids!
For free coloring pages, click here and here! A great way to keep the kids busy while trying to clean or prepare for Easter brunch!
Here's a link to some fun Easter games and activites for kids!
How do you boil your eggs? In my family, we have always done it the same way and they always turn out perfectly:
Put eggs in a large pot, in a single layer and cover with cold water. Turn on the heat and as soon as they come to a full boil, remove them from the heat and let them sit in the hot water for about 15-20 minutes.
For great tips on different ways to color your eggs, click here! and check out what Design Mom did yesterday with her eggs. Some tips on using natural dyes to create beautiful, unique eggs.
And one more thing, here's a coloring sheet I made just for you! Well, I made it for your kids! Happy coloring!
Download easter_sheet.pdf Apparently this link does not work, so if you'd like my coloring sheet, send me an e-mail, I'd be happy to send it to you! (as a pdf!) foldinglaundry at gmail dot com.
HAPPY EASTER!

The picture and comments of the chocolate bunnies had me cracking up! Happy Easter to you and your family. Enjoy your family activities and thanks for the links. I am also curious to see the page you created for me (I mean my kids) to color. Send it on over if you would please. Thanks Beth! Glad to hear you're starting to come back around.
