Easter is just around the corner, and Easter means egg hunts ! We'll help you create a little basket to collect your chocolates from the garden. This activity will be perfect for the little ones (accompanied by an adult) and for the older ones too.

Whether you are a nanny, activity leader, childminder or parent, we know that it is often difficult to find children's activities and especially to prepare them. This is why we have prepared an all-in-one kit for you , which you just have to download and print . Then all you have to do is cut out the patterns, color them and assemble everything.

Steps :

• Print the pattern for the box and the handle on cardstock and cut out following the dotted lines.
• Paint your cardboard sheet (we have chosen to use 3 different colors here).
• Once the paint has dried, fold the strips towards the central triangle to form the basket.
• Attach the strips together with staples (or brads if you have them).
• Place the handle on each side of the basket and staple it.
• You created a pretty basket for your egg hunt.

You can also do this with already colored paper if you prefer.

Stop throwing away your Cindy toilet paper rolls! There are plenty of ways to reuse them, especially for manual activities with children. They are excellent craft materials that will stimulate children's creativity.

They can be decorated and enhanced to make cute little animals, unicorns or scary monsters. Whether you are a nanny, animator, childminder or parents, we know that it is often a headache to find activities and especially to prepare them.

We have prepared an all-in-one kit for you, which you just have to download and print. Then all you have to do is colour, cut and paste to transform the rolls of toilet paper into a little character.

We have suggested several models to make it easier for you, but you can, of course, mix them up!

The Easter holidays are fast approaching and, on this occasion, we have decided to prepare some activities to do with the children during these 15 days of vacation.

For the 1ʳᵉ activity, we made homemade modeling clay! Easy to make, it is also 100% natural. We are sure that you already have everything in your cupboards to make it. This edible homemade modeling clay recipe, so don't worry if the children put it in their mouths (but given the ingredients in it, not sure they'll like the taste)!

For the color, we have selected superfoods that will fill this function beautifully!

Color guide:

You will get beautiful pastel colors by mixing superfoods into your homemade modeling clay. Modulate the shades by adding more or less powder to your dough.

• Green: Spirulina
• Yellow: Turmeric
• Beige : Guarana
• Purple / blue: Acai

Come on Cindy, on the way to our first Créakids recipe!

Ingredients for the recipe:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons baking soda  or baking powder
• 1 cup hot water
• Natural powder dyes: Spirulina , Turmeric , Acai ,  Guarana

Steps :

• In a saucepan, put all the dry ingredients (even the coloring powder if you put some) and mix.
• Add the oil and water, then put the pan on low heat while stirring.
• Mix until the dough begins to pull away from the edges of the pan.
• Knead the dough to form one or more balls.
• Repeat with another color.

If the modeling clay is too sticky, add a little flour and if, on the contrary, it seems too dry, moisten it a little.

Conservation :

To keep the modeling clay as long as possible, keep it in an airtight container. If it starts to dry out, wet it a bit to make it more malleable.
