Easter

It has been a whirlwind of a week, so I have a few Easter crafts here, to finish them up in one post! The kids have been very busy, and are getting very excited for all the easter fun!

First we made easter egg gardens. I drew out a bunch of eggs on the back of some finger paint paper. We also used white wax crayons, glue, paint and a piece of green paper.

First the kids coloured with the white wax crayon on the front of the paper (the eggs were drawn on the back). Then they started painting over the crayon. I put the eggs on the back so the kids wouldn't see what they were doing, they just scribbled with the white crayon. And, they painted the whole page- on the front, so the eggs would have different colours!

After those dried, we cut out the eggs, and were surprised at all the different colours on each egg. After they were cut out, we glued them to the paper, and added some Easter stickers.

We also made handprint bunnies. We used finger paint, markers, and finger paint paper for this.

The kids painted one hand first.

After they dried, we drew the bunny around the hand print, added an Easter basket and then coloured some eggs, chocolate etc on the paper.

(The fingers are the ears, the palm is the face, and the thumb is the tail)

And today, we made toilet paper roll bunnies. We used toilet paper rolls, pink napkins (you can use any napkin), paint (you can use what ever colour, we used pink to match the napkins), glue and green paper, cut in a length of about 1.5 inches- including the "grass" cut at the top.

First we painted the toilet paper roll- to about 3/4 of the way up.

And then added the "grass" to the part that was not painted.

Then, with the napkins, we pushed them into the top of the toilet paper roll to make the ears.

We also glued on googly eyes, and when they are dry, we will use a marker to draw on the nose, mouth, and whiskers!
