Depending on your personal belief system, Easter, April 4th, 2010, has a varied significance for people all over the world. One thing that that most people can rally around is that this is a fun-filled time of year to dye colored Easter eggs and start new craft projects.

This Easter some children are creating their own version of an Easter basket by painting Easter pots in lieu of the traditional Easter basket. With a variety of safe lead-free glazes on the market today, they can paint the full spectrum of the rainbow on any given pot. The Easter pot is sturdier than the traditional basket and can be used year after year.

Under adult supervision, low fire glazes is another way to take a child's pottery project to a new level of creativity. Children can make these Easter pots and then give them as gifts to grandparents or godparents. There are so many colors and types of glazes available that each child can express their own personality.

Making a picture frame is another great way to celebrate Easter. The sky is the limit where creativity is concerned. Take your favorite bunny stencils, stickers, paints and create your own personal Easter-themed picture frame. And when you're finished and ready to hang your picture frame, a nail hole filler will help complete the job. Add your favorite active shot from the Easter egg hunt and your picture frame is complete.

It certainly wouldn't be Easter without Easter candy. As soon as the Valentine's day cards and candy are removed from the shelves, chocolate Easter bunnies, marshmallow chicks and every type of candy you can imagine appears in Easter colors. For parents looking for ways to take the focus off the candy, creating arts projects with Balsa-Foam is a fun way to show your kids that there is more to Easter than sweets. This easy-to-use product can be cut with even a Popsicle stick to create non-edible Easter bunnies, eggs and chicks.
