Easter crafting with Irelyn

I found a cute Easter craft on Pinterest a while back, and thought this might be a good year to try it out with the girls, since we have a much different space to decorate this year :) 

Irelyn brought Tim Horton's and craft supplies and we got to work!
Amara hadn't seen her friend Irelyn in a while either and I'd been talking with her mom Natasha--so we decided to have the kids come over for a Sunday morning craft time together.  
We had a lot of fun! Natasha and I kind of figured out the mechanics of the whole templating part and then when it was ready to get to work, the girls jumped right in! Everyone had ideas of the colors they wanted, how they could decorate and didn't hesitate to get busy.
In the end we made maybe 10 to 12 bunnies of all color, shape and size. The girls were happy to pose with their class picture (in between watching Frozen) and then were off to play.

The bunnies didn't mind, they sat still for their picture--right before they all headed to their fur-ever homes with Irelyn's family and ours.  Grandpa Jahn even stopped by for a visit later and Amara sent two of ours home with him, for he and grandma to enjoy.

Cora picked purple on purple (of course) and she loved it! She was carrying it around and I'm surprised she didn't ask to sleep with it. Amara put one of hers in her room too.  This is a keeper craft for sure!
