Done!Įvery year we made baskets this way and put two dyed eggs in Easter grass and trotted them over to my Maryland grandparents. Open the bag and stand it up on the flat bottom. ![]() Make a mark for a one inch wide handle in the center (tick marks at 2 inches and 3 inches). Make a mark 4 or 5 inches up from the bottom of the bag (depending on how deep you want your basket to be) on both sides. This is a simple craft project which my mom taught me when I was a little girl and it's a quick and easy way to make an Easter basket out of a brown paper lunch bag. Then, we made and decorated Easter baskets. We had six craft projects packed into our four hours (the last hour was free play outside). Yes, a bunny's a delightful habit / No home is complete without a rabbit! We also read Clare Turlay Newberry's 1943 Caldecott Honor Marshmallow. But you can still find this charming story around. My version is illustrated by Betty Peterson and I think is the original (and the best). The main one was a favorite by Charlotte Zolotow: The Bunny Who Found Easter. Today's Handwork session (aka Craft Club, which trips off the tongue better than "Art & Handwork Class", or "Creativity Workshop") was all about decorating eggs for Easter! ![]()
