Easter or Resurrection Gardens are a great way to celebrate Easter. They are a reminder of the Easter story and are fun to make. Traditionally they would be made using soil, moss, flowers etc but this version is made entirely from paper and card – if you haven’t got easy access to soil and plants this is for you!
I’ve used – paper plate (a piece of card would do too), cereal box to make the cross (make two cross shapes and glue together so it will stand up), paper ice cream tub for the tomb ( a roll of paper with card glued over an end would be fine), a paper circle for the stone, tissue paper for the path and grass and pictures of flowers from magazines/garden catalogues.
These A4 Easter Egg designs can be coloured or made into collages. Whatever you feel like doing! I’ve used wax crayons (you can blend the colours!), felt tips, tissue paper and some sugar paper circles. Cut out the egg shape after you’ve decorated it. If you want to paint then maybe print the shape onto card. Enjoy!
Most things on my blog are for toddlers but this is something for older children and adults! We’ve been having a go at this weaving at our after school Bible Club and at our church fete. Lots of concentration required at first. But once you get the hang of it it’s really relaxing.
You need: lollipop sticks or similar (You can glue them together or just hold them together.) Yarn and scissors.
The above photo is what the weaving should look like from the back. Once you’ve got off to a good start trim the end that was near to your knot.
End result! You can change the colour of the yarn if you wish.
To make – sugar paper, tissue paper, cut up petit four cases, heart shapes, wool, crayons, glue, people shapes
(bought from Amazon – girl shapes and boy shapes) These can be cut into individual people.
Let the children choose how many people to add to their family and friends picture.
