Easter Pops

Ok Ok, I know Easter is all about chocolate right?  But the reality is lolly pops are sooooo easy!  and have I mentioned cheap!

The kids love to share goodies with their friends, and it's so funny but a highlight of their kinder life is being about to give something out to the whole class.  I guess it makes them feel special, it's also nice to get them thinking about the joy involved in giving to others (even if it's just lolly pops).

So I picked up a bag of flat lolly pops from the discount store for $2, and that was enough to cover the 45 kids in both Lulu and Tommy's classes.

To snaz it up a bit and tie it into the Easter theme (as that is the whole point behind the giving) I asked Kalie at Pink Ink Doodle for a copy of her gorgeous Easter Printables, which she is kindly sharing with anyone, you just need to email her.  Love her generosity. 

There are a number of different style printables to suit a number of ideas, I used the small square printables (often used as cupcake toppers)

So basically to turn them into lolly pop covers I did the following:

• Printed off the pdf file
• Cut away the excess and then cut into strips (so one of each image was in each strip)
• Then I trimed the strips down the middle

So what I was left with was two squares side by side, one 'Happy Easter' and one image. 

• After this I folded them in half
• On the inside (blank side) I put two pieces of double sided tape, one on each edge
• Then I stuck the lolly pop (which has a clear plastic cover on it) in the middle and sealed with the double sided tape simply by pressing together.

This is what I ended up with: 

If you want a copy of these printables just stop by Pink Ink Doodle  they really are gorgeous.
