As we all know Easter is coming up very soon. Arts and crafts are an amazing and affordable way to decorate for the holidays. There are so many different themes to chose from, basically, whatever it is that’s to your liking. Everyone knows the typical Easter eggs concepts, it’s beautiful, traditional and fun for the whole family. What about your home or lawn, decorating for the holiday seasons will put joy in your hearts and smiles on your faces. There is the Christian theme that is always beautiful and serene. How about the Easter Bunny theme, and make the holiday exceptionally joyous for the little ones. You could also change out the color scheme in your home to pastel Easter colors (pinks, blues, yellows and greens) and temporarily replace your wall art with Easter themed art. Doing these very special arts and crafts around the holidays not only brings the family closer together and puts a smile on every ones faces, it makes the holiday much more memorable and leaves you and your family with precious keepsakes you can display, and talk about for years to come. I know it always made me feel special when creating craft projects with my family, and even more so when I would see my work displayed the following holidays there after. My children have grown up with this tradition and they love it. These days most households require a two person income to survive. With that being said, we really don’t spend a lot of quality time together with our loved ones, and one of the greatest ways of making the best of your time together is involving every one in craft projects. It brings the family close and gives every one a sense of accomplishment. I hope this crafts project brings as much joy to you and your loved ones, as it has for my loved ones and I.
