Meet Amazing Crafty Kid Bloggers and find Inspiring Easter and Egg Theme Crafts for Kids

Easter Theme Art Projects and Crafts for Kids

While searching the net for things to do with egg cartons and eggs for a kids Easter theme roundup, I came across the most amazing crafty blogger. I was astonished to see she only had 14 GFC followers. Say whaaat? Well, we'll fix that.

Egg Shell Chalk from Pink Stripey Socks.

So, rather than doing a round up, I decided to start a new series where I feature amazing bloggers who aren't getting the exposure and blog love they deserve. Pink Stripey Socks hasn't monetized yet. She hasn't got links for a Facebook page or Pinterest, but with some searching I tracked down her Pinterest Boards. She does have a "subscribe to posts" at the bottom of each one and you should. Her ideas are not only creative; they are inspired recycling! I wanted to pin each one.

So, who is the wo-man behind the blog? Leslie describes her crafting as crapty adventures. I love that! Like many of us, her secret dream is to be a children's book author. She hangs her magic glue stick in New Jersey. Leslie, 11 Pinterest Followers today... 1000 tomorrow. This is your calling :)

Here are some of the great ideas Pink Stripey Socks shares for things to do with eggs/cartons.

Easy Recycled Bunny Costume Ideas and Easter Bunny Jokes for Kids

Easy Recycled Bunny Costume Ideas: Bunny Jokes for Kids

Need a bunny costume? We made a Funny Bunny for 2009 from a recycled stuffed Easter bunny. Now, I'm getting the biggest stuffed bunny I can find and improving the design. Here's the old version to help spark your creativity. What ideas do you have for a homemade bunny costume?

Here's a silly bunny joke for Easter. Enjoy!

Bunny Jokes for Kids:

So what do you call a bunny with fleas? 
"Bugs Bunny!"

What is important in an easy, cute recycled costume?

1.  Ease of construction.
2.  Crafty Cleverness.
3.  Cuteness Factor.
4.  Comfort
5.  Frugality

Simple, cheap costumes rent for $50 and sell for about $90.  We made this costume from an over-sized, stuffed bunny.

We took a creative trip to Goodwill, found some bunny p.j.s and a giant, floppy, stuffed bunny for $1.99.

Sadly, we cut off all of her appendages, removed the stuffing, cut out eye holes, then re-attached her eyes.

The ears are stuffed with a metal clothes hanger. My daughter loved wearing the stuffy's fuzzy feet and paws. I added a simple, black half-face mask for the interior structure.

NO SEW - just tacky glue.

The stuffy's main body/belly became a tunic to hide the wearer's neck. We'd planned to attach it to the back to cover hair, but later decided she looked like a cute girl bunny with her hair spilling out. The stuffy's tail is hot-glued to the back of the p.j.s. Get Hoppin'!

Dudley Spin and Egg Easy Decorating Kit.

This is so cool! The kids had a blast and I loved it! It is the good, old faithful Dudley brand, "SPIN an EGG," I got mine at Meijer for $5. Look for them on clearance, so you can have a couple for next year. It is so easy, and there is virtually no clean-up. My kids all give it 2 thumbs up (the teenager too)!

Easy way for Toddlers and Preschoolers to color Easter eggs.

How to Decorate eggs for Easter

Boil your eggs, the old cook books have a recipe for how to boil eggs. I am terrible at it. My eggs always crack or are underdone. Let the eggs cool in the fridge for about an hour, then wipe them dry with a paper towel before coloring.  

Decorating Easter Eggs with Preschoolers with no mess.

'Dudley Spin Art' comes with several coloring packets and the box has color mixing instructions for all your budding little Picassos. If you run out you can make your own Easter egg dye with food coloring. The recipe is at the end of this post.

Start with a clean dry egg. 
This is essential for the dye to properly adhere to the egg.

Cut open a pouch and drop 8-10 drops in the spinner or use homemade Easter egg dye. Add the room temperature, dry egg, place the lid on top, and have the kids push the button to watch it spin! Kids love to watch the process.

Marbled Eggs with Dudley Egg Spinner.

The kit comes with a Dudley "Puppet" (or use a plastic baggie) to retrieve the eggs from the spinner. Between colors, just wipe the spinner with a paper towel to remove excess dye.

Voila! Beautiful one-of-a-kind decorated Easter Eggs.

Look at these beautiful, shiny eggs. Imagine laying them in a homemade nest for a glorious table setting. You can buy perfect nesting material at Walmart. It comes in various colors. It is a string-like, candy substance (looks like colored coconut). The package describes it as edible Easter grass. It would be the perfect complement to these artsy, marbleized Easter eggs. 

How to make homemade Easter egg dye (not die) for Dudley refill 

Can you use food coloring for Dudley Spin an Egg Art? Of course,  you can!

You need: Food Coloring, Vinegar, Water
Optional: White Crayon

In a ceramic cup, mix together 1/2 C. of room temperature water, 1 Tbs. vinegar, and several drops of food coloring. Neon food coloring works best for vibrant eggs. You will need several drops for maximum color. You can also experiment with Kool-aid packets. Use a white crayon to draw circles or shapes that will resist the egg dye.

Use 1 Tbs. of color in your Dudley Egg Spinner or Spin Art kit.
