With Easter so close by, does anyone have any good ideas or links for Easter crafts?

Sorry. We only decorate eggs.
But I wanted ro reply to bump this thread back up for you and to let you know I'm not ignoring your question, I just don't have an answer.
I'm sure you'll get flooded with responses now! (no pressure, everyone! LOL)

Let me see if I can remember some things...

If you take a photo copy picture of an Easter scence that has been printed on regular copy paper, have your kids color it with crayons, and then lightly rub the back with a bit of veggie oil on a rag or cottonball or paper towel... it will make it see through like a stainglassed window... you can mount it in a black construction paper frame.

You can make pom pom critters- google eyes, pom poms, craft foam, pipecleaners and fabric glue or a hot glue gun...(white glue will work, but it's not as thick so it will be a bit messy)

For example..Chicks can be made from yellow pom pom, orange foam or pipe cleaner beak, google eyes and foam or pipe cleaner base...

check out this site as well (they have things for most holidays)

Thanks for the link, but that isn't what I had in mind. I want items that could be made for sale for a charity group.

I made a cute Easter wreath last year by gluing plastic easter eggs on a grapevine wreath. I'll see if I have a pic.

Thanks for all the suggestions and links. I donate my services, along with a generous bunch of other ladies, to making crafts for sale and the proceeds of which is donated to a few charities. I'm always looking for ideas on what to make for all the different holidays as well as for all year round. I doubt if I could do much before Easter, but I certainly have enough to work on for next year.
