Graham Cracker Carrot Garden Snack

Pin to Pinterest

Whether you have a Winnie the Pooh party in Hundred Acre Wood or you are looking for a fun Easter Food Craft for the kids, this is such a fun garden snack for children. We used fun gummy carrots and created a chocolate cracker of goodness – because who said your veggie’s can’t include chocolate!?!

Ingredients:

  • Graham crackers
  • Gummy carrots – we got ours HERE
  • OREOs
  • 1 Cup light cocoa candy melts
  • optional: orange icing – use THIS to create orange*
  • optional: edible Easter grass*

*Note, we picked up gummy carrots from HERE but you could also make your own carrots using an icing bag with orange icing and Easter grass as the topper.


Directions:

  1. In a microwave safe dish, melt your candy melts on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
  2. Scrape the white center from about 10 OREOs, place your chocolate cookies into a sandwich bag, seal the bag, and crush the cookies with the back of a spoon.
  3. Add a teaspoon of your melted chocolate to each graham cracker and spread evenly.
  4. Sprinkle your crushed cookies on your melted chocolate.
  5. Top each graham cracker off with 3 gummy carrots, let the chocolate harden, and enjoy!
  6. Optional: If choosing to using icing (over gummy carrots) lay your orange icing across each cracker is three 1 inch sections. Add edible Easter grass to the top.

Bunny Easter Craft for Kids

Pin to Pinterest

We had such a fun time creating these easy and quick bunny Easter crafts for kids. The steps are simple and you likely already have the craft supplies in your home!

Supplies:


Directions:

  1. Draw a bunny head onto your cardboard by starting with the ears, sides of the face, and bottom of the face for an even shape on all sides. You can even use a bunny shaped cookie cutter to trace your cardboard if necessary.
  2. Cut out your bunny with scissors.
  3. Carefully hot glue your end piece of yarn to the back of the bunny’s head and begin wrapping the yarn around the cardboard.
  4. Keep wrapping every which way until your cardboard is completely covered in white yarn.
  5. Once your cardboard bunny is wrapped, cut the yarn, and secure the end of the yarn to the back of the bunny with glue.
  6. Glue your pink Pom-Pom ball to the bottom center of the bunny’s face for the nose and 2 googly eyes right above that.
  7. Cut 6-3″ pieces from your pink pipe cleaner, twist the ends of 3 pieces together to make whiskers, and glue the ends on each side of the Pom-Pom nose.

What to Wear to a Spring Wedding

It’s another Frugal Fashion Friday Outfit. The weather is getting warmer (okay, well we can all pretend) and spring weddings are upon us. Right now, the cut off shoulder look is in. We love the ruffles, paired with this trending style, in this maxi dress. How adorable is that print for a spring wedding. Wear with some thin strappy shoes to keep the focus on the dress and not the feet. A little floral scent and and some nude accents and you are all ready to sing “hear comes the bride!” Don’t forget the hankey!
