Easter Bunny Tails Printable – Bag and Jar Topper

Pin to Pinterest

We LOVE Easter and enjoy giving treats to our friends, teachers and loved ones. Package up some of these puffy bunny tails (donut holes) and print a topper that is too cute for words! There are 2 ways to share these treats, in a mason jar with a decorated lid or in a ziploc bag, sealed with a paper topper. It’s just that simple to create an Easter goody! They are also a great Sunday School gift! Marshmallows would also be a delicious alternative to donut holes.

Tips: Our examples are printed on cream card stock. On the bag toppers, we folded our Ziploc Bag on top (underneath the label to shorten. We cut the circles out for the Mason Jars but a 3″ punch will work too. They would also be ADORABLE packaged in these Lavender Mason Jars!

Innocent and Playful April Fools Prank Ideas

Pin to Pinterest

When April 1st rolls around, some people ‘go the distance’ with pranks! It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt, feelings, physically or otherwise. So, keep it light and fun with this list we’ve put together. It’s full of playful and innocent pranks for your family, friends and co-workers. Googly-eyes on everything in the fridge will get lots of giggles as well as turning the milk blue! Your co-workers will be cracking up when you cover their entire desk in wrapping paper! Post signs about the new ‘voice activation’ system and have them speak into the keypads around the office! Create a balloon blitz at the front door to an office or bedroom. I’m not sure my kids would stay asleep through us moving them to the others bed but, that would be hilarious! However you celebrate April Fools Day, make your pranks innocent and playful!

Pin to Pinterest

I don’t know about your kids but, ours are always wanting to get the paints out and craft! I prefer having a craft in mind when we paint that is simple and cleans up quickly. This St. Patrick’s Day Tote Craft is it! There are only a few things they need to get going and you can start them out and let them roll! We love to use puffy paint too, just a little goes a long way! Start with the lightest green and then finish with the darker. Have fun!

Materials:

Small white 6×6″ totes
Puffy paint (green & neon green)
Small wooden handle from a foam paint brush
Paper plate
Clover template here
6×6″ piece of card stock

Directions:

Place a piece of card stock into your small tote.
Print and Cut out your clover template.
Place your clover on top of the bag.
Place or pour a small amount of your puffy paints onto your paper plate.
Hold the clover with one hand and dip your wooden handle in the neon green paint and press all around your clover.
Now switch colors and repeat step 5.
After you make sure that every spot directly around your Clover is covered starter dotting all around the front of the bag.
Let your bag dry for about 12 hours or until it is completely dry and stuff with your favorite goodies.
