March 5, 2014 – 12:37 pm

Here’s a fun Ostara craft for kids: Click each image to enlarge. Save the pictures to your computer, then print out as many as you need.  Once they are printed, color the pictures with colored pencils, watercolor paints or crayons. Carefully cut them out. Using a leftover bath tissue or paper towel tube cut into 1-inch high sections, glue the colored decorations around the rings.  After the glue is dry, use them as bases to hold your Ostara eggs upright.
