3 Easter Crafts and Keepsakes for You and The Kids to Enjoy!

Here are 3 fun Easter crafts to do with the kids if you're stuck in on a rainy day this Bank Holiday. Warning: different levels of skill and patience required!

No. 1: Handprint Baby Chick

I love this Handprint Baby Chick that featured on 'Handprint and Footprint Art Blog.  It's incredibly simply to do and makes a really cute keepsake.    Requires: I Background piece of paper, I Large yellow piece of paper or card, some small hands, paint and beady eyes. Patience Level: Low.

No.2: Fold Out Keepsake Booklet 

This one is another crafty keepsake for the kids. I love it and although it takes more time and effort to make, the children can use the time over the Easter break to get it filled, with comments and pictures from loved ones. The original post had thanksgiving in mind, but this could be used at any time.  Involves a lot of cutting and glueing.  Patience required: More than the last.  Source: Family Fun Go
 
No.3 : Easter Cupcakes.

And here's number there. OK - so not so much of a 'keepsake' and more of an "eatsake" but it still works for me!! Love these Easter Cupcakes. 
Requires: a complete recipe, available at the link below.
Patience Level: Probably the highest of the three, but the taste should make up for that!  Source: Family Fun Go

If you get a chance to do any of these - you can post your photos on our FB Page: Facebook.com/forkeepssake.

Have a great Easter!
