We're looking for something easy to make with our preschooler and infant for Easter for their grandparents. Something with handprints or photos would be nice. Any ideas??

I don't have any off the top of my head, but above is a good website that may give you some ideas. :)

Booksie- Check out the oriental trading company. They usually have sets of stuff you can buy to make. A lot of it is geared towards younger kids without much coodination, etc.

DD has made hand prints out of Crayola Model Magic (http://www.crayola.com/products/display.cfm?product=9) at Gymboree Art. It dries in 24 hours and isn't crumbly like Play-Doh. After it dries, it can be colored with markers or paint.

I thought of something else. I save pretty colored tissue paper from gift bags/boxes - esp what was given to me with baby gifts b/c ppl usually use pretty pastel tissue paper. I either tear it up in squares or rectangles, or cut it into squares with scissons. Then I let DD have at it with glue. I either give her a cupcake cup with glue in there and let her use her fingers or give her a glue stick. For Easter I drew an Easter egg on a sheet of construction paper and let her decorate it with tissue paper squares, Dot Art markers, crayons and sequins.

I made Easter cards with my 3 yo. I had cut up squares of tissue paper and glued them onto a piece of card stock that I had cut into an egg shape. Then my son traced a message on the inside either "happy easter" or " you're egg-cellent" Yeah, I'm kind of a dork, but the family will love them! LOL
