This is an easy and inexpensive way to decorate for your Easter dinner and the children will love it. First of all, go on an expedition to find a branch about 3 feet tall. Shouldn't be too hard with all the wind we've been having. You will also need a 2lb. coffee can or flower pot full of sand to put your branch in. If you have a can of white spray paint just lying around, paint the branch white. Otherwise, natural is fine. Now, the exciting part is blowing out the inside of the eggs. If you have young children, I would recommend using plastic eggs. Poke a small hole in one end and a larger hole in the other end. Then, BLOW the egg into a bowl or cup. Now, color and decorate the eggs. When dry, using some pastel ribbon either taped or glued to the egg, tie them on the branches as you would decorate a Christmas tree.
Another fun project is to make place cards for everyone coming to Easter dinner even if it's only your immediate family. Taking small styrofoam cups, write the names of all the dinner guests on a cup. Using colored pipe cleaners, make a handle for the Easter basket by poking a hole in either side of the styro cup and twisting the ends. Place some of the green or pastel colored grass in the cup. Lastly, add jelly beans or candy eggs in the grass. Looks very pretty on the table and the children and adults will love the candy favors.
