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!

Here's a super-quick and easy craft that all ages will enjoy.

Paddle Puppets!

Your kids can turn a piece of cardboard into a self-portrait puppet, or an animal or anything at all, really! They can even make them 2-sided to have 2 puppets in one!

They're great for pretend play, role play and putting on puppet shows!

Super-fun and super-fun!

This mitten matching activity is really easy to make, and it's great great for helping toddlers and preschoolers develop their matching skills and their fine motor skills.

My 2 and 3 year olds LOVE matching the colours and patterns and pinning the little mitts together with mini clothespins.

This will be an activity that your kids will go to time and time again this winter.
