Easter Egg Crafts and Purim Recipes
3/20/08
- By Anna Fader
We've got a long weekend and I'm in the mood to get crafty. Preparing for holidays is always a fun time in our house when we can slow down and do some craft activities together. My kids love this and the crafts don't have to be complicated.
Making Easter Eggs is a great craft to do with kids because it can be tailored to be as simple or as complicated as you want it to be for different ages, abilities and crafty proclivities ??” meaning I can really get into it with my own creations.
Below I've rounded up a bunch of links to great Easter egg craft ideas, but this first link is to a delicious looking recipe for some Purim Hamantaschen. If you don't know about the Jewish holiday Purim, you can read about it on the 92nd St. Y site which tells the story. Purim is one of the few Jewish holidays that's really a kids' holiday.

Slash Food has the recipes to Make Your own Natural Egg Dyes. I did this one year and although it was a lot more work than popping in a Paas tab, it's a cool science lesson for kids and the eggs turn out beautifully. Another thing I love doing is using brown eggs because even if you just use regular store bought dye, the eggs get more muted tones and look very Martha.

Have a great weekend everyone!
