Easter Plans

As time goes by, I'm trying to decrease the total number of toys my children have, as well as increase the percentage of toys that are made from natural materials and encourage creative play. At present, I have two bags stuffed with toys for the Goodwill, so I have a little room for getting some quality in there. For Easter this year, the girls are going to get some handmade (felted) play food for their little kitchen. An artisan at Etsy has some great items, plus on sale, so I had to nab a few (see above pics). Hopefully there are some left over for you!

I'm also trying my hand at needle felting and will (maybe) have created some Easter eggs for their baskets. There is a great tutorial here. I plan on making a few of these plain to add to their felt food. If you don't feel like making them yourself, try these.

Meanwhile...wish me luck!
