Passover and Easter crafts

Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth. In late April we have the opportunity to celebrate and learn from two important religious holidays: Passover and Easter.

In addition to singing holiday songs, reading stories, and observing religious rites, I love crafting with my children as a way to bond with them, share traditions, and get into the spirit of the holidays.

Here are few Passover and Easter ideas from some inspiring craft bloggers:
