Easter Bunny Craft

By Vanja
Hello Mommies (and Daddies),

I've been away for some time.  Many new developments over at Emma's Lunch.  Hop on over if you'd like to have a look.  In the mean time, Easter is around the corner and I'd like to leave you with this fun Easter craft.

This is a simple craft to do with your child and can be easily adjusted for any age. It adds a lovely Easter touch around the house.

Easter Bunny Craft

What you’ll need?
  • One Styrofoam egg
  • Two googly eyes 
  • Scraps of pink, purple, white and yellow felt 
  • Small blue pompom
  • Green ribbon 
  • White paint
  • Glue 
  • Wooden skewer
  • Scissors 
  • Paint brush 
If your child is older, let them cut bunny features out of felt, otherwise do it yourself. Take the pink felt and cut two circles for cheeks, one semi-circle for the mouth and two curved triangles for ears (about ¾ of the size of the egg). Cut two rectangles out of the yellow felt and cut into each to make whiskers. Cut two smaller curved triangles out of white felt and a bow out of purple felt.

Easter Bunny Craft

Stick the egg onto the skewer and have your child paint it white. Allow to dry and glue the bunny features. Tie a ribbon into a bow around the skewer and glue the purple bow to it.

Easter Bunny Craft

You can use the bunny to decorate around the house by adding it to your tulip filled vase, sticking it into a plant or into the garden while the kids hunt for Easter eggs.

This craft was featured in Larnaca News Magazine, March/April 2012 edition. Look for it along with our column :)

By Vanja
Valentine's day is almost here, and Emma has actually been talking about it.... strangely enough, since we don't really pay too much attention to it.

So this year, we decided to actually do something about it and create some fun Valentine's day crafts, starting with a picture frame.

Baby Massage with Tina

By Vanja
I blogged about this on my blog Emma's Lunch, but I wanted to share it here too because it is all about one of our own Mums in Cyprus Tina Poetis.
Life is very different with two kids. You need to split your time and double your energy.  I think the hardest is the realization that you just can't do

Plastics and its alternatives!

By Vanja
About a year ago I wrote an article called I'm Terrified of Plastics, where I promised to find a good alternative to plastic cups and bottles and bring it to Cyprus.

Today I finally managed to do just that.
