Children can have a hand in creating this cute Easter table centerpiece with a few crafty pieces, some candy and creative inspiration.

4 florist sponge blocks (4 x 4 inches)Green turf (available at craft stores)1 bag of pipe cleaners or twisty strawsColored tissue paperRubber bands1 12.6-ounce bag of Easter peanut candy coated chocolatesWhite picket fence (approximately 6 inches high, 16 inches wide)Multi-colored carnationsJoin the florist sponge blocks by connecting with toothpicks, and cover the resulting "garden" with the green turf. Take one sheet of tissue paper, and continue folding into halves until you have a square about 3 inches in size. Cut the folded tissue paper into a 3-inch circle, producing 8 to 10 layers of circles. Leave them stacked on top of each other.If using pipe cleaners, poke the pipe cleaner through the center and make a knot so the pipe cleaner won't fall out. If using straws, bind the center of the flower to the end of the straw. Pinch each tissue paper layer upward toward center of flower to make petals. Insert paper flowers into the sponge blocks.Cut the carnations 4 inches below the bud and insert the stems into the sponge block, combining them with the paper flowers. Hide the candy "eggs" in between the flowers and set the picket fence around the block.
