Paper Cup Bunny
Lets make fun and easy Easter crafts this holiday! What you need: white paper cup, white pipe cleaner, 2 wiggle eyes, pink pom pom, card stock, glue, scissors, double sided tape and a pink marker pen.
From the white cardstock, cut 2 rabbit ear shapes. Have your kids to paint the inner ears pink. To make the whiskers, cut the white pipe cleaner in half and twist them together. Use double sided tape to attach the whiskers to the cup, then attach the pink pom pom on top for the nose. Wiggle eyes too. Attach the ears to the back rim of the cup with double sided tape. Fill your bunny cup with Easter candy treats!
Alternatively, you can attach the ears like this to make another version of bunny cup holder!

Symmetry Finger Paint Art
Finger painting is a fun activity for kids. This simple project is easy to do and creates impressive symmetrical designs. What you need: construction paper and washable kid's fingerpaint.
First fold a piece of paper in half. Open it up again. Squeeze various colors of finger paint in different sizes somewhere near the crease of the paper. Fold the paper and have your kids press down on the paper with their hands. They can rub across the paper to spread the paint. Then open the paper to see the symmetrical designs. No matter how my 3-year-old squeeze the paints, the finished work all looks like butterfly. How do you think?

Truffula Tree Craft Inspired by Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax
Have you seen Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax yet? It's entertaining, visually beautiful and very colorful. My daughter enjoyed it very much and here come this craft inspired by Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. What you need: few circles of fabric, construction papers, glue, scissors and crayons/colored pencils.
We first made the background by coloring blue sky and green land and then we glue truffula trees on top. We use fabric(cut in circle) I had on hand. You can make your trees pretty much in any color. Here is the finished fabric truffula trees.
