Easter Crafting

However you celebrate Easter, make this a time when you sit down with your children and create! Time spent with them will live longer in their memories than any easter egg hunt. The Die Spiegelburg Easter Egg Stamp kits are a simple and satisfying way to decorate eggs...especially for those little hands who need a large canvas to draw their masterpieces. For the older lot our new Magic Starfish Tie dye kits will be much loved. The kit comes with all that is needed to tie-dye and you can tie dye the bag it comes in as well... Our Stockmar wax sheets are a lovely way to spend the afternoon. Modelling with beeswax is part of every steiner early childhood curriculum..particularly those in the kindergarten. It is not as pliable as other modelling materials which is important. The heating and the manipulation of the beeswax evokes the child's will. This is the age of the will and of the body so beeswax is a perfect medium. Watching a child work beeswax shows you how they use their entire bodies in the creation process to make the most imaginative, beautiful pieces of art. A sweet simple little rabbit could be added to your nature table and your child will be so proud!. The stockmar sheets come in sets of 6 or 12. Papoose has some wonderful felt craft kits...perfect at the moment while they are on special! Make felt bags, purses or keyrrings! We are also stocked up in children's sewing and craft books. We have a couple of books in the Crafternoon series- Papercraft and Sewing. Gorgeous books with tons of ideas and step by step instructions to while away the afternoon. I also love the expression...crafternoon! We also have some lovely lovely craft inspiration books for adults from the popular blogger Pip, from Meet Me At Mikes fame. The internet is full of Easter Craft Ideas but our Easter Craft Book written by Thomas and Petra Berger is full of beautiful recipes, paper crafts and egg decorating ideas.
