How to: 30 Expat Easter Ideas

Here comes Peter Cottontail, with his bulky baskets, cheap plastic eggs, insane amounts of horrendously expensive sugar, and oh - yeah, this is actually a religious holiday! How are you expected to haul all that around with you, you globetrotter, you? Are you supposed to buy it all over again every time you move? Nay! Here are some suggestions for an Easter worthy of expat celebrations - bunnies and Christianity included.
Here's how our Easter 2017  is shaping up. Fresh flowers (especially if you never splurge on them other times in the year), paint chip bunnies, window clings, Easter grass, and our own little crafts are all contributing to what's going on in our household for the Easter season this year. Everything fits in a shoebox if I want to keep it, or if I don't, I won't shed any tears as they disappear.

An embroidery hoop wrapped in little vines, with a "spring" pennant banner across and a craft bird nestled at the bottom. This is what greets visitors at our front door.

Fresh, Spring flowers, courtesy IKEA next to little wood bunnies (Tchibo) make it seem like the desert is in bloom

Window cling things are amazing. Cheap, fun for hours, and easy

Paint chip banners are cute, free, and easy peasy. I chose colors to go with the girls' room

Little bunnies are too cute

Easy egg banner - cut out paper and attach to string. Bam.

Our egg banner, made by gluing Daiso origami paper to egg shapes and putting little ribbon bows on the big ones
Not pictured are some things like our growing Easter grass (still hidden in the dirt), and we haven't boiled and painted eggs yet. Not quite sure how we will do those this year with our little artist.

And here are some lovely ideas from other sources!

There you have it. Just a few ideas that you can hopefully make out of things already laying around. They are all small or flat, disposable, or better yet, edible!

​So hop to it!

    I love herbs & spices, cats, low brass instruments, international relations, culture, traveling, writing, and most of all, my family.
