"Egg"stravagant Easter in Winnipeg

March has come and gone and still no baby. Looks like he'll be an April baby. Hard to believe it's April with all the snow still on the ground!

But that's okay. April is one of my favourite months! It's all about spring cleaning, flowers, and of course Easter! And what better way to start teaching my daughter all about Easter then with some Easter crafts!

So I checked out momstown.ca's blog for some inspiration and ideas. I found a craft that was perfect for my 2 year old toddler and was absolutely adorable! It's called the 'Egg Carton Easter Chicks'. You can find the instructions for this craft and lots more on the arts and crafts blog. 

Some other great craft ideas to check out:  

Cotton Ball Bunnies
"Stained Glass" Egg window hanging
Old Fashioned Egg Painting
Easter Egg Mosaic
101 Uses for Plastic Eggs 

We can't wait to launch here in Winnipeg. Look out for our Easter Egg Hunt next April! But until then, here are some great local events around Winnipeg to celebrate spring and the Easter season as a family: 

Fort Whyte Alive has an Easter Craft taking place Saturday, April 23 from 1 pm - 3 pm. They are also putting on an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 24 from 12 pm - 2 pm. The cost for the Egg Hunt is $3/child, Members: free. They also have a brunch before hand that cost $26.50, Members are $23.50 and children under 10 cost $15.
