They lived a mile away and we barely saw them. In December we brought them school pictures wrapped in holiday paper. Done!Įvery year we made baskets this way and put two dyed eggs in Easter grass and trotted them over to my Maryland grandparents. Open the bag and stand it up on the flat bottom. Make a mark for a one inch wide handle in the center (tick marks at 2 inches and 3 inches). Make a mark 4 or 5 inches up from the bottom of the bag (depending on how deep you want your basket to be) on both sides. This is a simple craft project which my mom taught me when I was a little girl and it's a quick and easy way to make an Easter basket out of a brown paper lunch bag. Then, we made and decorated Easter baskets. We had six craft projects packed into our four hours (the last hour was free play outside). Yes, a bunny's a delightful habit / No home is complete without a rabbit!
We also read Clare Turlay Newberry's 1943 Caldecott Honor Marshmallow. But you can still find this charming story around. My version is illustrated by Betty Peterson and I think is the original (and the best).
The main one was a favorite by Charlotte Zolotow: The Bunny Who Found Easter. The ache had been more tolerable after Matthew left Promise Glen, but now, not only has he returned, Anna’s father accepts his offer to work on their farm.Īs the preparation for Easter begins, Anna’s regular contact with Matthew introduces her to a man far different than the boy she knew before.Today's Handwork session (aka Craft Club, which trips off the tongue better than "Art & Handwork Class", or "Creativity Workshop") was all about decorating eggs for Easter!
Still, no matter how she tries, Anna can’t let go of the reckless night that ended her brother’s life so soon. Anna’s comfort is quickly dashed, however, when the man Anna deemed responsible for James’s death returns to the Amish community-Matthew King.įorgiveness is at the heart of being Amish, and no one else blames Matthew his grief and pain over losing his dear friend are obvious.
Anna knows one day she’ll find someone she can love and marry, but she’s perfectly happy with the life she created. Though she lost her beloved brother in a tragic accident, her family is supportive and close-knit, and her job as a cherished teacher at the Orchard Hill Amish School fills her heart with joy each day. The Promise of Easter by Marta Perry: Anna Stoltzfus lives a quiet but fulfilling life in Promise Glen.
