1. A Spring Flower Walk: A Nature-Inspired Craft
Start your Easter celebrations with a lovely nature walk, and enjoy the beauty of the season with a flower walk activity. For this craft, simply draw or paint a vase on a piece of cardboard and punch small holes above it. Then, head out for a stroll and pick some wildflowers from nature (be sure to only pick wildflowers or get permission from local gardens). Once back at home to save wasting the flowers when they wilt you can press them between heavy books to preserve them. This is a lovely way to bring the outdoors into your home while also collecting materials for future crafts.

2. Eco-Friendly Easter Table Decorations
