Easter is just around the corner. I can't believe it's already here. Have you seen all of the fun things you can do to celebrate? I'll be including a list of a few of my favorites, below. One thing that I don't much care for about Easter is the fake plastic grass. YUCK. If you know me personally, you'll know that I have texture issues, and the texture of plastic grass drives me a little batty. The crinkle paper filler isn't my favorite, either, but I can't seem to find it in the colors I like or want. Also, I hardly ever have the right color on hand for anything. I do, however, have a lot of tissue paper always on hand. Instead of plastic Easter grass, I will be cutting up mounds of tissue paper. Buy your favorite print or color and cut small strips using a  paper cutter or simple scissors. Since it's grass, there's no need to worry about straight lines. Creating a large collection of Easter grass takes very little time. Promise. Last night I got together with a few friends and we made surprise Easter balls. I made one for Penelope and one for Felix. Felix is a bit too young for it, but I'm sure he might get a bit jealous seeing Penelope unwrapping her surprises all by herself. What are your plans on celebrating Easter with your kiddos?
