In my house, the kids are getting a little itchy for the last day of school. So I thought it was time to make a plan to celebrate this big day. First off, visit Dandee Designs for an inspiring list of games and activities.
Surprise them at lunch time by spelling out a message with cheese and alphabet cookie cutters.
Create a countdown to summer using a simple construction paper chain. Each day the children can tear off one link, until they get to the sunshine!
Create an end of school basket filled with goodies for the kids. Visit My Mix of Six for the scoop. This would be a great annual tradition!
Celebrate good grades and exceptional art projects by hanging items from the school year for all to see. Idea from Secrets of a Super Mom.
Make a Beach Ball Fruit Pizza with the recipe from Hungry Happenings. How’s that for an after-school snack?
Pimp-out your minivan with a special summer message for the last day of school. Visit For the Love of Shorties.
Finally, visit Amanda’s Parties To Go for a huge set of free Summer Party printables.

My Blonde Ambitions shows us how to make a pretty Sunglasses Case.

This Fingerprint Necklace found at A Girl & A Glue Gun is surprisingly easy to make. Affordable too!

This year I found some really creative Easter egg decorating ideas online. Beginning with Blog Me Mom who made Scratch & Glitter Eggs.
Make Watercolor Easter Eggs with Nest of Posies.
She Knows made Gold Marbled Easter Eggs and shows us how.
A Pumpkin & A Princess makes Glitter Polka Dot Eggs.
I love this one by A Subtle Revelry. Photo Print Easter Eggs – how unique!
Or keep it simple with this idea I found on Pinterest. Googly Eyes and a Sharpie Marker! I think this would be a fun way to dress up eggs that were dyed with a simple grocery store kit.
