Easter Crafts

J and I have been in the swing of Spring lately and spent yesterday afternoon doing a couple of Easter related projects.  First, we baked flower sugar cookies and then we used the salad spinner to paint some Easter eggs I had cut out of construction paper.  This was a great project because Julia could do most of it herself (she needed a little help to get the spinner started a couple of times) and she ended up with some pretty cool eggs.  I was also very impressed with Julia’s cookie making.  The process was a little involved – rolling the dough into balls, then rolling in sugar, snipping the tops with scissors, and then peeling back the “petals” and adding an m&m in the middle.  She did almost all of the steps (funny enough the one thing I thought she would have fun with, rolling the dough into balls, was her least favorite part and I did most of that) and they came out great!
