The girls will enjoy trying their millinery skill by making tissue paper caps or bonnets for the Easter eggshells, and mother can decide which “egg lady” deserves a prize.
The supper table for the Easter party can be made very pretty indeed. A hen on a nest will be a good centerpiece, and scattered here and there on the table place fluffy little ducks and chickens. Your guests will greatly enjoy creamed chicken with peas, deviled eggs, ice cream in the form of lilies, or in lily paper cases, bonbons and fancy cakes.
RABBIT PARTY
Your older sister will tell you that she knows all about rabbit parties, and that for this festivity you will require cheese and a chafing dish. But she’s very much mistaken, even if she has been to college. What you must have for your rabbit party is a sheet with a rabbit drawn on it, and a pair of cloth ears to pin on the rabbit. You’ll also need a small candy rabbit, some modeling clay (and aprons!) and three prizes, but these are all, for this isn’t a college party.
Of course your invitations have been written on paper which is decorated with a bunny.
Your first game can be the rabbit contest, and for this let each child in turn be blindfolded and try to pin the ears on the rabbit. A prize will reward the one who pins them the nearest to their proper place.
Next snip out with sharp scissors two small holes for the rabbit’s eyes. Divide the children into two groups, and let the first group go “behind the scenes.” Then one after another can look through the rabbit’s eyes, and the outside group must try to guess who owns each pair of eyes. It is harder than you would think. Then the groups can change places, and the second group be guessers.
Next get out your modeling clay and aprons, and the whole party can model rabbits. The sculptor of the most life-like rabbit will of course deserve a prize.
