It's craft time at our house. For Easter week, I'm keeping the school time list to a minimum. A big part of our time is being spent focusing on Easter and doing special projects to celebrate this special day.
On Monday, we made "stained glass" Easter cards to send out to family and friends. To make these cards, we covered a frying pan with tin foil, heated it up enough that it would easily melt crayons, and then set to work making little puddles with our old, broken up Crayolas. When the piece of foil was full of colorful wax, we dipped our paper into it. Computer paper worked find, and pressed it into the pan using a spatula.
We did this until we had a fun assortment of brightly-colored "stained glass" papers.
Next, we traced cross shapes onto the backs of the papers, cut them out, and glued them onto card stock. Inside we wrote, "Happy Easter. Have a Wonderful Resurrection week. The Lord is Risen!" Then we addressed, stamped, and drove them to the post office.
Lacinda,
