Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Plain indoor/outdoor carpet doormat Fabric paints Paint brush

1. Paint an Easter bunny in the center of the mat. Use a picture of a bunny in a book or magazine and outline the bunny. Then paint him in and have him holding a basket or put a basket in front of him. Paint some lines coming out of the basket to look like Easter grass.

2. Paint "HAPPY EASTER" toward the top of the mat over the bunny. Use a different pastel color for each letter.

3. Paint a pastel color border around the outside of the doormat. Use a bunch of squiggly lines in different colors. Go around the entire outside of the mat a few times. It should look like more Easter grass.

4. Draw on Easter eggs on the rest of the mat. Outline them and then paint them as you would dye regular eggs. Make each egg a different design. This is where you can get the kids involved. Let them all do a few eggs. Let the paint dry completely overnight before you put the mat outside.
