Easter  and the school holidays are fast approaching. What will you say when your little cherubs start grating at your ever increasing fradgile nerves with "I`m bored, there`s nothing to do."? Tell them to go play outside? mmm "But Mum its raining."

May I offer a solution? Be prepared with some easter crafts. Card making, Decorating small boxes,Off the page scraping is great for kids of all ages. I`m not even suggesting you buy special items. We all have paper scraps, glue sticks, & small packaging boxes always decorate up nicely. I would recoment a plastic table cloth for the messy kids.

Set them up at the dinning table & they will stay occupied for hours.

In my experience with kids & craft however it is always a good idea to set some ground rules about things like sharing, manner, completeing one project before starting another, how to saftely hadle the equipement they are using and who is allowed to use what if you have multipul ages crafting together.

Once they get the hang of it &and you stick firm to the rules you will find they will have a ball.

I will be uploading some Easter project ideas I have found for yours & your childrens enjoymnet.

Scrapingly yours Tracey
