Easter is just around the corner and honestly it’s not really a holiday I do much decorating for except, of course, for dying Easter eggs with a homemade mixture of vinegar and food coloring, but usually we do that right around Easter Sunday.
Well, this weekend my girls were jonesing for some kind of a craft and I thought lets decorate eggs without eggs because there are only so many hard boiled eggs I can handle so I pulled out the construction paper and some of our art supplies and we created our own easy Easter craft.
My girls are 6 and 4-years-old and I have to say that at this point in their lives they may have enjoyed decorating these construction paper Easter eggs more than they do decorating actual eggs.
I thought I’d share in case you’ve got some littles you’d like to do this project with, it’s not hard and I’m sure you don’t even need the directions, but here you go anyway!
Supplies:
- Construction Paper
- Scissors
- Glue (Stick/Elmer’s White Glue)
- Decorations of your choice (things like: stickers, beads, markers, glitter glue, whatever you like)
Directions:
- Cut as many sheets of construction paper as you would like into the shape of eggs. I went for large eggs, of course you could do smaller eggs.
- If your kids are doing this on a surface you don’t want to get damaged, put something down to protect it. I like to use parchment paper because it’s something we always have available in the kitchen.
- Let the kids go at it and decorate the eggs however they like.
- Let the glue on the eggs dry completely. You can either leave the eggs as is or glue the finished eggs onto a full sheet of construction paper.
- That’s it!
Looks like they had fun making those! They came out really cute.
