The past few weeks my kids and I have been busy making Easter decorations and decorating the house in an attempt to make it feel “Springy” inside despite the amount of snow still outside.
I instructed my kids to make me lots of Easter pictures to decorate the walls:
We also made an Easter Egg by gluing string to a balloon and after it dried we popped the balloon (My Mom painted the Easter Bunny next to it several years ago for me!) :
I gave the kids some felt and told them to make me Easter Eggs. In case you can’t tell, my daughter’s is the sweet one with the flower and my son made a “weird guy” Easter Egg.
We also made paper chains of bunnies and Easter Eggs. I had just purchased some really pretty “Springy” paper but my son still opted to use our 4th of July themed paper!?
I really thought we had covered all of our bases with our Easter decorating, especially with our Easter Egg decorating we did here! However, my daughter thought we clearly missed one more important decoration. She really thought we should have some….SNOWFLAKES! I gave her a puzzled looks and said, “Really? Do you really think we need snowflakes?” She was absolutely sure about this. So yesterday, we added the final detail to our Easter decorating decor! It truly is complete now!
Motherhood Is An Art 
Beautiful art work by the children! You can also use paper on the balloon. Thanks for sharing, Melissa! Be Blessed, Mtetar
Thanks Mtetar! Yes, using paper on the balloons is always fun too!
Always welcome, Melissa! Be Blessed, Mtetar
She is so cute “snowflakes”, it must be because of all the snow outside! 😉 Love the painting of your mother, she is very talented (all your family is) 🙂 wish you and your beautiful family a Happy Easter!
Thank you so much Ingrid! I hope you and your family have a great Easter as well especially with all of those yummy treats!!
The Easter egg done with the string looks very unique!
Thank you! My sister gave me the idea when I told her I had a ton of crochet thread!
Well, we do still have snow on the ground! Nice Iris!
It was not quite the look I was going for but it really does work this year!!! haha!!
That’s awesome!
Thanks Kate!
Ooooh! I love the string on the balloon idea!! Thanks for upping my confidence in the crafty mom department 😉
Stephanie, I need to warn you… the string on the balloon was not my favorite project I have ever done! I admit, I like the way it looks but if you notice we only made one! It took like an hour just to make that one….you need lots of patience to pull this off and the difficulty of the process was magnified doing it with kids!
Patience? Okay, I’m out. Thanks for the heads up 😉
You put me to shame! love the decorations, even the 4th of july, weird guy and snowflake parts – plus the string balloon egg is so cool! 🙂
Thanks Courtney! I am just thankful that pumpkins aren’t in season so they couldn’t ask if we carve Jack-o-lanterns too!!!
I love it all! The string egg is brilliant. And I don’t want to undermine you or anything…but the snowflakes do see to complete it. 🙂
Thanks Colleen! Anything pretty much goes at our house and obviously the kids are well aware of this by now! Better Homes and Gardens is not going to be banging at our door for decorating tips but it sure is colorful!!!
Well, they should come a knocking! Your Motherhood is certainly full of art. 🙂
The way this Spring is shaping up so far, Iris may be right on with the snowflakes! 😉
Thankfully we finally got some rain today and melted some of it but I’m sure I would be too optimistic to hope that we don’t get anymore snow this season!
LOVE the Easter egg made with the string. So pretty and bright and festive! And why not snowflakes?? Iris is so cute!
Thank you Lidia! It’s funny because mid-afternoon it actually started snowing yesterday on Easter. It didn’t last long but I just started laughing and thinking those paper snowflakes really were perfect!! I hope you and your family had a great Easter!
We did, thank you!
You have a creative crew!
Enjoy the holiday.
Thank you Larry! It was a nice day for us!
You my lady are just too ‘crafty’ for your own good 😉 Happy Easter Mel and Family. xxx
Thank you so much Jen!
I would have made my egg into a “weird guy” too!
Really???? I never would have guessed that!!! haha!!!
Funny.
And that bunny is delightful. That string egg needs some work, though, LOL!
You have no idea how much I hated doing that string egg…especially with the kids trying to “help” me!
