The kids are out for Easter break and they can’t really play outside because they all have runny noses. I would love for them to play outside but one day its hot & the next day its cold. I would love to come up with new things for them to do in the house. We’ve done all the basic stuff like coloring, painting, dressing up, ect… Please help
I feel you girl!! Mine are 3, 5 and 7….all boys!!!! They are on easter break now also. Boys? Girls?
With my boys today since they love to help, I had gotten some seeds, the biodegradable start pots and soil and we planted seeds this afternoon. You could lay out a tarp or blanket inside to minimize the mess and have them plant seeds. Get bigger pots or the long rectangle ones or even shallow bins or shoe boxes and have them make little gardens with seeds and or baby plants. you can also the the terranium or what ever it is called….get a cactus or humidy dwelling plan and a plastic container that seals, transfer the plant into it, watter it, close it up. you can display them inside or replant outside when the weather is right and they lean to care for plants. you can even use egg cartons for this.
play video games or boad games with the older ones, they will love the mommy time. Have them help you bake cookies or cupcakes, even the little one can pitch in and help stir/decorate.
If you have old socks (or extras} and craft eyes, puff balls etc, have them make puppets and put on a show for you or work with them to put on a show together for daddy. You can also use brown paper lunch bags.
Got a bday coming up? make cards. construction paper folded in half and whit pc paper folded in half, stencils, crayons (makers/paint/color pensils), glue, glitter, craft balls, pasta or anything you have on hand. Have them decorate the cards. put some glue down the inner seam of the construction paper and put the outer seam of the pc paper to it and the kids have cards from the heart to giveMy kids love to act goofy for the camera so we will let them make funny faces and pose for snap shots, print them or have them done at walmart and they can show them off…you can have a good laugh with the kids looking at them.
Have them create their own scrape book, just get them a binder and paper. punch holes in the paper and let them decorate, draw and put in the pictures you allow them to have in it. works well with the snap shot idea.
scavenger hunt inside. use your imagination for this one or hide a treat for them all and give them clues or directions/paces for them to find it. this helps with following directions by words or pictures and counting. They learn and get a reward.
Build a tent with blankets at the table or where ever for the boys to play camping or have a fort. for girls it can be a princesses castle, the imaginations will run wild!!!
Hope this helps. Like I said, my 3 are boys so girl ideas are a little harder for me to suggest but anything can be altered at their ages. Also some malls have inside paly areas that are nice, mine here has one and it is free to let the kids play at. Great for all their ages. Don’t forget to ask them what they want to do. They may just want to watch a movie with hot chocolate and popcorn, have you/them read a book to the rest of you or something relaxing for you. Mine like to all go lay in my bed with me to watch a movie or cartoon.
Have fun with it!!!

Easter Egg Hunt but what, if anything else do I need to think about before finalizing the plans?
Here are a few questions you may want to answer before making that final step:
How do you plan an Easter dinner for a large family? How do you decide who brings what? Does everyone donate money and one person buys it all? Who cooks? Is it covered dish? How do you keep the guests from feeling others don’t pull their weight? The seating arrangements – who get the head of the table? Where do the kids sit? How many tables are needed? Who does the dishes? How do you handle everyone wanting to take the leftovers? Who gets to take plates to other people? Is there a time set for dinner – and what happens if someone is late – do you wait or eat? Any special rules at the table? Any taboo conversational subjects? How many dinners have been disasters? Disaster stories. Do some of your guests have to alternate between homes of relatives and eat more than once? Is dinner always at a certain home? What time is dinner? How various families handle these situations. Are guests (not family) invited? Do they bring a dish or offer money toward the food?

I have held on to my easter lily since easter and it remained green up until a few weeks ago. There are now green bulbs poking out from the surface, just under the dirt. I live in southwest Arkansas and have found out that I should plant them in Oct. How should I store them until then?
Just leave them in the pot until you are ready to plant. They’ll be fine.
The egg is SYMBOLIC toward the RESURRECTION, the NEW LIFE in CHRIST. Egg=fertile.
The bunny is SYMBOLIC of purity. White=purity, bunny could also be interpreted as reproduction as in re-birth (resurrection).
The gift basket is SYMBOLIC that Mary carried Jesus in her womb (basket) and JESUS was a GIFT to humanity.
Therefore we collect the EGGS and place them in the Basket and give them as GIFTS to our children, so that they may be blessed in Christ.
You grow wise with age, and learn the symbolisms–or just call me a genius-wink wink.
Good Luck and Prosper…;*!*;…
I want to know some simple Easter Craft ideas that young children can make.
Are there any ways of making a simple easter basket out of cardboard or any other recycled material that can be filled with easter eggs?
Any ideas would be welcomed.
