Wind Chimes

Ahead of time, start saving tin cans in various sizes, including one 48 oz. juice can. You will need four small cans plus the large one. Cut the top off of the 48 oz. can and make one hole in the center of the bottom and then four holes evenly spaced around the center hole, using a hammer and nail. Punch a hole in the center of small can. using various lengths of twine or heavy string, tie one end of each string to a hole in the large can. Then push the other end into the hole in a small can. Tie a large knot in the end of the string to keep it from pulling back through the hole. Hang cans at various levels, but make sure they can touch one another when the wind blows. Leave cans silver, or paint them before assembling. Decals may be added if desired.

Bunny Bags

You will need a small paper lunch bag, plus some felt-tip markers, scissors and a stapler. Cut a "U" shape from the top center of each bag. Cut through both thicknesses, about halfway down the length of the bag, but leave room on each side of the "U" for the bunny’s ears. Use markers to draw on the bunny’s face and to outline the ears on each side of the cut. (Ears should not come all the way to the top of the bag.) Overlap the ends and staple together above the ear tips. The bags can be filled with Easter grass and goodies.
