Make sure you post your Love In Color challenges on social media (I myself am a Instagram-aholic. It’s a word.) and tag me/hash tag #colorsaremagic #projectloveincolor.

Oh, Easter! I just love you and your fun colors. Also… how cute are bunnies and baby chicks? Answer: VERY. I decided that for this Love In Color project I would do a a chick adoption. It was super simple and was so fun to watch the kids light up while choosing an egg. I thought about hiding the eggs all over the park, but I thought baskets maybe a better plan so parents could help monitor the number of eggs each kiddo got. Sharing is caring! If you would like a fun Easter themed activity to do with your kids this weekend you should totally try this!
Here is a little shopping list for ya:
– Plastic Easter eggs
– Little toy/craft chicks (I got mine at Michael’s)
– An Easter basket (I used x2 small)
– Easter grass (optional)
– Canvas or poster board
– Markers
Here is what to do:
1.) Stuff each of your plastic eggs with a little chick.
2.) Line the bottom of your basket(s) with the Easter grass and arrange your eggs on top.
3.) Make a sign with a fun message using your canvas or poster board. I used a small canvas. Here is what my sign said:
Help!
These eggs fell out of the Easter Bunny’s basket! The baby chicks inside need homes. Pick a chick to love and give it a creative name. Instagram a picture of your chick and it’s name with the hashtag #ProjectLoveInColor to be entered to win a fun giveaway! Love, _@colorsaremagic_
(Obviously, you do not have to do a challenge and giveaways if you don’t want to… I did it for Color Are Magic
4.) Take your Love In Color project and leave it some where in your neighborhood/community. I left this one on a playground before school got out. Sometimes my Love In Color projects are for everyone, but I felt this one would be most appreciated by little humans– kids love a good Easter egg.
I hope you are having a beautiful spring (even if it is taking it’s sweet time warming up in a lot of places) and have the best Easter ever! I would love to see your chick adoptions! Make sure to follow me on Instagram and to hashtag #projectloveincolor so I can find you. You never know… there maybe a little prize coming your way. x
