Flowers & Chicks Easter Baskets {Craft}

And you will also need some yogurt containers to paint to make the brightly coloured Easter baskets. Kids love painting things…so this little painting project is a great way to kick off the project. If you are pressed for time and don’t think there will be time for kids to paint their containers, you could also pick up some small terra cotta pots at the dollar store. I have done this before and they work just as well and look just as cute. 

I know many of you will be able to tell just by looking at this project what you will need, but it is always good to have a list when you are shopping with children.

 

 

Flower Lollipops {make or buy}

Floral foam

Green paper grass

School glue

Chickadees {or bunnies or eggs}

Yogurt Containers & paint & paint brushes ^

 

1. Paint yogurt containers in bright colours.{Two coats are usually needed}. Let dry.

2. Cut floral foam with a knife to fit container.

3. Apply some school glue to the top of the floral foam and press some green grass onto foam to hide foam from showing.

4. Add lollipops by pressing sticks into floral foam so they stand up and look pretty.

5. Add a cute little chickadee, bunny or some cute small plastic Easter eggs to the basket.

These little chickadees are such a cute addition to these baskets. I love things made with pom-poms.

Here is a collection of the Flowers & Chicks Easter Baskets in a collection of different colours.

I think they are such an adorable craft project!

In years gone by, I used to make this craft with my daughter and a few of her friends. 

I loved seeing each individual project. Some girls would paint polka-dots or stripes on their pots.
