I have one last Easter craft to share with you this season, and it's GORGEOUS!

We used our 3-ingredient white clay recipe (It's awesome!) to make these beautiful painted clay dough Easter egg ornaments.

The kids loved decorating them!

They'd be perfect to hang on an Easter tree, but they'd make great gifts too. Maybe one at everyone's place setting at the Easter table?

Goodness, I just love them. They were so fun and easy to make!

It couldn't be easier!

We coloured our eggs (super-easy!), and then dribbled liquid watercolours all over them, and WOW, you should see the results! They're gorgeous!

The process is totally easy and fun. Everyone will love it - from the toddlers right through to the teens! Heck, even I had a blast colouring our eggs this way! We've polished them up, and set them in a bowl along with our easy marblelized eggs from the other day.

I know how much your kids love dyeing Easter eggs. Well, at least I think I do because what kid doesn't love doing that at Easter time?

I also know how much of a pain in the patootie the process can be with all the bowls of food colouring and hot water and whatnot.

It's not a quick and easy process, and it's not mess-free.

Well, you are going to LOVE the process we've come up with to dye the coolest looking tie-dye Easter eggs this year because it's SUPER easy, SUPER quick and it's virtually mess-free.

Grab the Sharpies and the rubbing alcohol, because you're about to make the most awesome Easter eggs ever, and the process is going to WOW your kids!

Last year, I made these colourful Easter egg treats using a traditional Rice Krispy Treat recipe and Fruity Pebbles.

They were super-easy to make and they turned out so cheery and bright!

They're shaped like real eggs, and super-easy to make. And because the cereal is so colourful, there's no need for food colouring or sprinkles or icing.

They're perfect for a classroom party or for your own kids or daycare kids!

Check out how pretty they are, and get the printable recipe with the link below!

We finally made SLIME! And not just any slime! UNICORN slime!

It's gorgeous, stretchy, slippery, slimey fun, and because it doesn't contain Borax, it's totally kid-safe!

Excuse all the photos. I couldn't help myself! This stuff is just too beautiful for words!

Have you ever wondered how Eric Carle creates the artwork for the pictures in his books?

It's gorgeous, right? Wouldn't you love to create art like that?

Well, guess what!

He's made a short slide-show, demonstrating exactly how he paints, and it's actually a really simple process!

I gave it a try, and oh man! It's super-fun and totally addictive. I ended up making all kinds of coloured papers because once I got started, I couldn't stop!

Then I used some of the coloured papers to make Easter Egg napkin rings.

They're really pretty. And oh-so-Eric-Carle.

I think your kids are going to LOVE painting this way.

I've included a link to the Eric Carle slide-show in this post, so check it out.

And try it for yourself.

This would be an AWESOME activity for a school art class or an art party!

I'm going to show you how to blow out an egg, and how to dye a bunch of eggs quickly and easily at home. It's fast, it's fun, and the results are so pretty!

And best of all, we're using supplies that you already have at home.

Scatter them along your Easter dinner table, or display them in a bowl. Either way, you and your kids can take pride, knowing you coloured your eggs the good, old-fashioned way!
