Even
though I will be giving Alex candy from the Easter Bunny as well, I like to give
him gifts that make him think and help him use his imagination. He has recently
become obsessed with puzzles, so I got him two more puzzle sets. I also got him
some Easter themed books.
The Easter Bunny always signs these books and marks
his signature with two eggs.
I wrapped
all these gifts in brown Kraft paper. Using a template, I created a bunny silhouette
(I got my inspiration from this year’s bunny garland from Paper Source, which I
saw in the window of their store a few days ago).
I cut the bunny out of
several different springy paper patterns and adhered to the corner of the
package.
I then
tied the package up using baker’s twine in a similar color scheme. I tied a bow
and positioned it close to the neck of the bunny.
These
packages remind me of a song I sing to Alex all the time…brown paper packages
tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things.
Decorating Easter Eggs
We also
decorated eggs this past weekend. Alex did most of these all by himself. I just
laid down a waterproof/spill proof tablecloth and let him go to work. He
decided what colors and also when the eggs were done. The biggest problem: I hard-boiled only a
dozen, and he wanted to decorate more!
I love that he dyed so many blue eggs and that he kept them super pale—they are beautiful!
Beautiful
