This Easter, help them build a basket that sparks their imaginations: Fill it with charming gnome eggs, miniature details, and a candy-laden garden of "vegetables" like corn, beets, cabbages, and the holiday must—bundled carrots. 07 of 10 Hatched Egg Chickens This brood is all smiles (er, beaks?) as they pose for a family portrait to welcome their latest addition. Simply paint eggs and cut and glue felt to mimic beaks. Draw on eyes with a black permanent marker. 08 of 10 Crepe Paper Carrots Credit: Courtesy of Kate Mathis A kid's craft that the Easter bunny will love? Crepe paper carrots that are sure to please. To make them, loosely wrap an orange streamer to form the carrot shape, making it thicker at the top. Tuck in gifts as you work. Press the end of the paper down into the top. Then, fold the green crepe paper in half across its grain. Download the leaf template and trace it onto the folded paper. Cut out and bunch up. Finally, tuck the leaves into the carrot top then secure with a dab of hot glue.

They can even start a day or two early to allow the eggs' crystals to "grow." By the time Easter arrives, the eggs will be ready to be put on display and can be used to brighten up a tablescape.
