Easter is such an exciting time for kids, the first mention of an Easter Hunt and the excitement levels are raised to ninety. The best crafts are normally the most in expensive and kids love the idea of making something new out of something used. It’s a great idea to have a craft bin in your house and hold onto anything that can be reused eg..empty egg cartons, toilet rolls etc.. as you never know when they can come in handy on a rainy afternoon. Why not collect HB ice cream sticks and get crafty with them by making this cute Easter Basket. You can make this any size or colour and use ribbon and embellishments to make it as festive as you like.
What You Need:
Ice Cream Sticks
