Easter Egg Fun with Disney’s Spoonful.com

Sunday, March 24, 2013 HeatherL 2 Comments

While Christmas is the favorite holiday for many families, at my house, Easter is the winner. We love everything about it- new flowers, baby animals, coloring Easter eggs, and chocolate! To celebrate our favorite holiday and springtime’s arrival we decided to add a little Disney touch to Easter and create some of the fun Easter eggs on Disney’s Spoonful.com. After all, if there’s anything better than a basket full of Easter eggs, it’s an Easter basket full of Disney Easter eggs!

We chose to make 8 of our favorite Disney friends into Easter eggs. The supplies needed were mostly items that we already had on hand or were easily found at our local store.

St. Patrick’s Day is just around the bend! Why not take a break from finding the end of the rainbow for some fun and easy St. Patrick’s Day crafts? Last week I shared a ton of festive Paddy’s day ideas featured on Disney’s Spoonful.com. Today I want to show you how easy these crafts are to do and how cute they turned out! These crafts require easily accessible materials, many of which you may already have on hand. Add a little extra luck this St. Patrick’s Day with these simple crafts.

St. Patrick’s Day Craft #1: Try On Leprechaun

Supplies: a mirror, craft foam, glue and printable templates

Instructions:

1. Use your mirror as a base for your leprechaun.

2. Download the templates for the leprechaun at Spoonful.com.

3. Cut out and trace templates onto craft foam.

4. Cut out and glue craft foam onto mirror.

5. Feel like a leprechaun when you look in the mirror!

This craft is super easy! I did it with my toddler and he really enjoyed playing with glue and putting the pieces together! He obviously required more guidance than a school-aged child, but with a little moving around of the pieces, and glue on the mirror, we got the job done and enjoyed seeing a leprechaun when we looked in the mirror!

Evite has been named the exclusive online party invitation partner for Disney Interactive’s Spoonful.com and is now offering a new collection of Disney-themed online party invitations.
