DIY Easter Bag by Prue Lacey-Jessep

Here's a simple and fun Easter craft to keep your kiddies busy and creative this Easter weekend (and the perfect place to stash all the Easter chocolate treats!!).

What You Need:

  • paper bag

  • paints (either water colours or poster paints)

  • textas

What To Do:

  • slightly wet your watercolour paints

  • use your thumb or finger to make prints in different colours on your bag

  • allow them to dry (if using watercolours this will only take a few minutes)

  • use texts to decorate and draw around your thumb prints to create little Easter eggs, bunnies and chicks

  • Now you're all ready for an Easter Egg Hunt!
