In this newsletter you will find links to new craft projects for the season plus some fun projects from the past. More Spring and Easter Crafts can be found on Craftideas.info.
If your kids like crafting with fun foam, they can choose from two new Easter Bunnies like this Fun Foam Easter Bunny Window Decoration. This bunny is just strolling along with his basket of eggs.
This Fun Foam Easter Bunny is really cute. This can be made as a mobile or simply as a window decoration.
There are also new crafts for kids made with chenille or pipe cleaners. This cute Chenille Easter Bunny Stick will definately be a favorite and kids will find great use for it.
