Easter Fun with Grandchildren

Just as the Easter Bunny stealthily hides Easter eggs, time has crept up and Easter is almost here.  And, I haven’t posted any Easter ideas.  Yikes!  Since I haven’t had a chance to come up with my own Easter ideas, here are some links to different Easter crafts and activities that young grandchildren can do.

I also came across the ideas of making a Rock Salt Mosaic.  I think this would be a different and fun activity to do.

Materials Needed

  • Large rock salt (like for water softeners)
  • Assorted variety of food coloring
  • Rubbing alcohol

Process

  1. Pour 1 cup of rock salt into a mixing bowl. Add a few drops of food coloring and 1/8th cup of rubbing alcohol. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes. Then drain the liquid off and put the rock salt on a paper towel.  Let dry. Repeat this process until you have all of your desired colors.
  2. On a piece of card stock or construction paper, draw an Easter egg.  Be sure to include a simple pattern like zigzags or stripes or simple flowers on the egg.
  3. Spread glue on the paper.  Press the colored rock salt into the glue.  Let dry.

Have a great Easter!
