Easter is the Spring holiday that represents a time of rebirth. Just as
nature awakens from a long winter, with tiny buds on the ground and in
the trees, so do we return to a new life on earth promised to us by our
Savior, Jesus. And this is also why young, new life represented by eggs,
nests and flowers or life that is transformed through stages like
butterflies emerging from a chrysalis (cocoons), have always been used
to decorate our homes in the Spring.
I will include a variety of crafts below dedicated to the Easter/Lent
holiday that you can make for your dolls or dollhouse; or, you may wish
to host a Spring themed party and use some of the game ideas, stories or
craft ideas to entertain your doll's guests.
