Easter Basket For the Creative + Mini Makers

Easter Basket Ideas 

4 + 7 year olds interest when it comes to Easter Basket items are very much in line with one another  (at least for my girls) though each stage has 1-2 extra items I'm debating about getting them... as I'm trying to keep our baskets with a total of 5-6 quality items. 

I grew up with chocolate and jelly beans in my basket and as much as I LOVED that as a kid… as a Mom living in the PNW with many rainy spring days ahead, we need to have things my kids can "do," make, play and create with. 

You get me?

So we'll see what I decide on which means.. you get an exclusive peak at our Easter Bunny's "list." Maybe you can choose a handful of items for your kids before me?!

Yes, it's early though then again so is Easter this year. Amen?!

Using gloves and or the good old fashion plastic zip lock bag in our hands is what we usually do when painting Easter eggs with my girls (as I'm sure you saw in stories over on Instagram

Though I was SUPER excited to try out these paper mache' Easter eggs with our craft mats! Especially since each half lays steady on top of our CHEEKS Brand silicone mats while my girls painted on them this past weekend. 

Painting Easter Eggs With Kids

And although we've created on top of our  CHEEKS Brand craft mats for various projects over the past year, it's by far my favorite for when used to paint with kids!

 About a year ago I said it was, "The best craft mat for kids" and I still believe that. Not only is Nicole the CEO of the company though she's also a mom of 3 who was the first to ever invent the collapsable creator mat and it clearly shows in her quality of the product. It's unmatched in my opinion. 

 Let alone the clean up? Just rinse off your paint and glitter in the utility sink. Pure Magic.

Then the best part of this DIY? You can have both an Easter egg hunt (stickers inside or jelly beans if you prefer) and later in the day, kids can help you place them on top of the table for a whimsical brunch or dinner center piece. (Just remember to add on that Mod Podge last for protecting your paint)
