Mosaic Eggs and Sock Bunnies

I'm all about fast and easy when it comes to crafts. Here are two quick but cute spring crafts we've made this week. The sock bunnies were a HUGE hit. Even my little boys who think they are too cool for crafts loved them. They each made up a name and described where their bunny lived, what it eats, and more!
