Happy Easter, everyone! We know everyone around the world celebrates Easter in his or her own way and some even on a different day. Some of us focus on the religious celebration, while others focus on the bunny and candy side. But most of us celebrate both! We are, as always, celebrating every holiday with art.

For those looking for a more religious craft project, we love this reverse cross painting. Your little artists will learn a painting technique that will make their crosses look like they are glowing. I personally love our reverse painting projects, as they give big results to little hands.
