Special Treats for Easter

Here are two tags you could use with a jar full of Jelly Beans to give as an Easter gift...






Shirley Kozak claimed to have written this poem in 1990 but others before and after claimed to have written it and another person says her mother who was a teacher used it in the 70's and 80's so we had best presume this to be Author Unknown.






For decorating eggs for Easter and making Easter baskets, bunnies and chicks crafts as well as many other Easter craft ideas, visit www.allcrafts.net/easter.htm






AN IMPORTANT NOTE - When working with raw eggs:
Wash your egg well. Carefully poke a small hole in each end of the raw egg. Hold the egg over a bowl and blow into one of the holes. The egg liquid should slowly come out the other hole. Kids should get an adult's help and permission before trying this. Once the egg shell is empty, rinse it off and set it aside to dry.
Check out this webpage for safety in blowing eggs www.holidaycrafter.com/article1109.html


A great gift idea is to make your own custom made gift basket or pot - fill it up with different items that will please the recipient of your gift.
Decorate the basket or pot by gluing ribbon or cut-outs from cards. Fill with strands of coloured tissue paper or coloured straw. Add Easter eggs or chocolates and decorate in an Easter theme with cellophane wrap and yellow ribbons.
