Spring has sprung and Easter is right around the corner!  This past week was spring break for my children.  While we didn’t travel anywhere for our break, we did have a blast staying home and enjoying our city.  We spent one day at the park, a day at the beach, a day at the zoo and of course we dedicated one day to crafting.  Our crafting day consisted of creating 2 DIY spring centerpieces and putting together the easter tablescape.

DIY Spring Centerpieces

We created our simple and easy centerpieces with items I picked up from the Dollar Tree.  The dancing flower centerpiece is the most attractive to small children. It’s smiling flowers  are cheerful and bright. They were also super easy to twist together and place into a colored a pail.

I love how everything is $1 at the dollar tree. It’s amazing how many items you can mark of your holiday list for a lot less than other stores.
