I don't know about you but I just love this time of year. Spring is just beginning and with it, comes a sense of renewed hope and looking forward. Easter is just around the corner and so I thought that for our first Safehaven Activity Pack, it would be really fun to celebrate by making some Easter cards! In your pack you will receive everything you need to make some gorgeous cards- I've tried to keep things relatively 'clean' so there's not too much clearing up to do afterwards, and everything you will need is in the pack, ready and waiting. At the end, you may well have some leftover coloured card and other bits and bobs. In the next blog post I'll show you how to use them to make some cute little Easter tree decorations. I hope you have a great time getting creative! If you take any photos, why not tag us in them- because, very excitingly, we now have an instagram account- @safehavencafeloughborough. I can't wait to see what you all make! Sophia and I had a lovely time the other day making these examples to show you- some have a faith theme while some are more based on the Easter bunny! Whatever style you go for, I hope that they give you some inspiration and ideas for the cards that you make.
And lastly, you could simply give your little one free reign to do whatever they want! Sophia coloured in the large template and stuck a bunny on it too. To be honest I'm surprised we didn't end up with all the stickers in the pack crammed on there! And of course she wrote a message inside. I often make a note of what she's saying as she writes, and then write a little 'translation' on the other side of the card for whoever is going to open it. One last option if you have a child who loves to colour things in, is just to use some of the patterned 'colouring in' eggs from the activity pack and stick them on the front. They would make a really bright and cheerful card!
