The highlight for Caitlin was her very first Easter Hat Parade at school. The kinder, years 1 and 2 kids all made their own hats in class time for the parade - the year 6 buddies helped the kinder kids with theirs and Caitlin was so proud of hers. It really is lovely, so bright and arty.
Here she is in the parade ...
... and singing and doing the actions ...
... sitting patiently ...
... and with her cousin ...
On the crafting front, over at Divas we put together 7 Days of Easter Crafting. I made this cute bunny jar having seen a similar idea in BH&G magazine.
I also made this basket having seen the instructions at the SIE blog here.
And the other challenge was to create a LO using a sketch - and the page had to have something to do with Easter, either Easter photos and embellies, or if you just simply didn't have any, be creative and include any sort of Easter symbol somewhere on the page. I decided to complete my page without any pics because I wanted to put some Easter Hat Parade photos on the page. All I need to do now is print my photos and stick 'em on. Easy.
Onto other Easter things ... the kids decorated Arrowroot biscuits (cos they're egg shaped) with various colours of icing one afternoon and I got these lovely pics of them. Got some similar good ones last year too so it will be lovely looking back on them in years to come.
And lastly, over at Divas, my April Mystery Challenge is to make pinwheels - here I've made a whole heap from co-ordinating pp's in different sizes and arranged them like flowers in a vase. You can use pinwheels on a LO, card, or any project you like.
