Memories

Tired of keepsakes piling up. Get Marie Kondo inspired and get organized. Make a memory or keepsake box with the kids. This can be organized by school year or can not have filed folders and just be a place you toss in old lovies, concert tickets, photos, and more. A Bowl Full of Lemons can help you get started.

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

Easy tutorial, How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs. Directions for real or faux eggs.

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

Growing up I can recall getting my die tabs, dropping a hard boiled egg in a clear cup of colored water. This was how we colored our eggs every year. On rare occasions, I got a kit that also came with stickers or a stand and I was able to add a little texture to my Easter Eggs. As I have gotten older and have kids of my own, I have researched different out of the box, out of the carton, Easter Egg Ideas.

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

That was our goal here. To provide you with a creative, really easy, Easter Egg idea. These Gold Leaf Easter Eggs use Liquid Gold Leaf (and it doesn’t cost that much!) You can make them with real eggs or faux eggs as we chose to do in this craft. We had Acrylic Paint, which we purchased at our craft store, but there are many pretty Easter colors online. There is some drying involvement, so feel free to break this craft up into a day or two. That makes each sitting even shorter allowing it to not become a craft that is too time dependent.

Gold Leaf Easter Eggs Supplies:

Faux Paper Mache Eggs (You can use real eggs – just hard boil them or blow them out first!)
White Acrylic Paint
Assorted Colors Acrylic Paint
Liquid Gold Leaf
Paint Brush
Craft Sponge
Floral Foam Brick
Flat Head Pins

Gold Leaf Easter Eggs Directions:

First, in a piece of floral foam, push in flat head pins. This will be your drying station so the eggs can dry elevated so your paint doesn’t smudge.

You will need to paint your eggs white. If you are using dark colors you can omit this step if you want, but for lighter colors it’s a must! If you are using real eggs, they are already white so you can omit this step as well.

Once painted, allow the paint to dry and then paint your choice of color. We chose Easter colors like light pink, light purple, a pastel blue, a Easter grass green color.

Allow to dry again. Luckily this doesn’t take long to dry but we waited a day to be safe.

Cut a piece of craft sponge to use in the gold leaf. Using a smaller piece allowed us to have more control over the coloring. Before opening your gold leaf, shake your bottle well. If you don’t it will come out a reddish color… no bueno.

Pour a bit of gold leaf onto a paper plate and sponge it as little or as much as want on your eggs.

Allow to dry and display. Enjoy and be sure to check out our other Easter Egg Ideas.

“He is not here; for he is risen!” Share the message of the gospel this spring with these Easter Resurrection Cupcakes. These open tomb cupcakes are an easy food craft for the kids.

Easter Resurrection Cupcakes

He is not here; for he is risen! Matthew 28:6

Through this food craft, you can share the message of the Gospel. Did you know Gospel means good news? Our good news is Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose again on the third day. No works or actions of ours will get us through Heavens gates, only accepting him as our Lord and savior.

Our goal for these cupcakes is easy with a message of the Gospel. Either make a boxed cupcakes recipe or ask your grocery store’s bakery if you can have some un-iced cupcakes. Chocolate or vanilla cupcakes are fine. We used vanilla, but chocolate would definitely look more like soil! You can whip up this food craft in just a few minutes.

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt at Night

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt at Night on Frugal Coupon Living. Using a flashlight or tealights, recreate this Easter Egg Hunt Idea outside your normal traditions.

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt at Night

Remember our Easter Egg Dying Ideas for thinking outside the typical egg dye? This time we wanted to share with you a creative Easter Egg Hunt, a Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt.

To achieve this fun scavenger hunt for the kids at night, we place flameless tea lights inside of our Easter Eggs. You can fill the remaining space with tiny candy, like M&Ms or skittles, or you can have the kids trade in their flameless lights for a treat basket that you have. That way they get to choice a candy they like and you get back your tea lights!

They sell glow in the dark Easter eggs online, but we find they do not get as bright as eggs with lights inside. We picked up our eggs and flameless tea lights at the dollar store, that means you can pull this off for next to nothing and it’s a memorable way to enjoy Easter and create a new family tradition!

Tealights add up so there is another way to play this game/hunt, have a Flashlight Easter Egg hunt. You can keep the glow in the dark theme with the flameless tealights or you can have bright colored eggs to they stand out when a flashlight shines on them. Enjoy an evening searching for eggs in the dark. Make it challenging by hiding the eggs in places that are not seen well in the light (or in the dark) or make it not as challenging and just fun by having eggs that are easily found in the light but not as well in the dark.

When inviting others, ask people to bring their own flashlight. You can pay attention to when the sun sets in your area on the weather channel and then plan a start time approximately 20 minutes after the sun sets. If you kids go to bed early, perhaps move this flashlight Easter Egg hunt inside and shut all the blinds in your home. You could have your own flashlight Easter egg hunt in doors!

Afterwards, have fun making these glow in the dark eggs with this easy science experiment with the kids!

Take your Easter Some Bunny printable below and print then cut out into circle gift tags.

Place a hole punch in the top of the gift tags.

I’m No Fool April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

Thanks to you, I’m no fool! Adorable April Fools Day Teacher Printable for the classroom! Pair with popcorn, apples, cookies, or Smarties!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

Thanks to you, I’m no fool! Happy April Fool’s Day!

Do you remember the teacher that really impacted your life? I had a lot of great teachers growing up. Perhaps that is why I went into education, myself, in college. One of the teachers that really made a difference was Mrs. Cassels. She taught me Art History and even took me to Europe for a month were we toured museums, cathedrals, ancient ruins and more. Years later, I moved to Washington, D.C. and was able to wow my kids through the Smithsonian Art Museum where I shared my love of painting and sculptures with my kids – they were quite impressed with my knowledge and I was honestly impressed with all I had not forgotten!

April Fool’s Day Teacher Printable

On a regular basis, I try to show my kids’ teachers love. Usually it is through singing up for a thankful Thursday and sending in a candy bar or coffee. Other times it is during a holiday season and attaching a cute printable to a small gift. That was our intention with this freebie. Print your free No Fool gift tag and pair with caramel popcorn, cookies, an apple, or whatever you desire! Maybe a coffee will go far too – who doesn’t love caffeine?

I’m No Fool Supplies:

These are the supplies we used for our gifts, you can of course adapt to your own needs!

You will also need material to print your gift tag. Use white card stock or send online to Staples to pick up. (see below.)

I’m No Fool Directions:

Have fun with this free teacher printable gift tag. Your directions will differ from ours based on how you use the printable, but this is how we created our gifts.

We baked cookies according to package directions. Once they cooled we added them to clear cellophane bags and tied them off with red and white twine. We cut our gift tags out and whole punched them on the right side. We tied the bag to the twine with a bow.

We had some mason jars and added some tasty caramel popcorn to the inside. You can make your own or pick up a store bought brand – have you tried POPT! Caramel Buttery Popcorn? Once your mason jar is full, screw on the lid and tie on a red polka dot bow. Add your gift tag before gifting.

Another great idea is a classic apple – an apple a day keeps the doctor away! If you feel like an apple is too cliche, step it up by gifting a caramel or candy apple! Wrap in a clear cellophane bag and tie with a red and white polka dot bow. Don’t forget to add your no fool April Fool’s Day gift tag!
