DIY EASTER BASKETS 
(Do It Yourself)

 Here are my unique, handmade, 
DIY (do-it-yourself)  Easter baskets!

I created the baskets using paper french-fry-like baskets;  wired, faux pussy-willow branches;  stickers; and ribbon.

You could cover the paper baskets with scrapbook paper or fabric, but I love the look and texture of the paper just like it is.

My daughter, Faith, hand-braided ribbons to create beautiful handles.  

I also cut wired, faux-pussy willow branches to use as handles.

I called each child up individually, and made sure the children couldn't hear each other. I typed up their responses; printed them off; and the children added the paper with their story to a bunny craft they created in class.

I do as much LISTENING as I do talking. Here are some of my insightful and hilarious interviews with 4 and 5 year old students from my 2007 class. We talked about THE FUN EASTER and THE REAL EASTER. Bunny Tales.

  Thanks for stopping by!

Come back often, and invite a friend!
