Easy Easter crafts {2018}

Hello friends!
It has been a long time between arts and crafts posts, so I thought since we are so close to the Easter Bunny/Bilby’s arrival that an Easter craft would be a wonderful idea.
These 4 crafts are super simple and LuLu absolutely loved them… I really encourage you to take the time to do some craft with your little loves, it’s a wonderful way to connect with them and you can really build up their confidence. Also remember craft is more than just painting and making something cute, it is full of so many wonderful skill developing tasks. It can improve fine motor skills, decision making, cognitive thinking, problem solving and so much more. And remember crafts don’t have to be pinterest perfect – ours most certainly aren’t but we think they are beautiful and enjoyed spending time together.

Easter basket cards…

For this craft you will need;
– Brown paper (or paper coloured in brown/basket colour)
– glue
– brown crayon
– a plain piece of paper folded in half to be a card
– a toilet roll
– paint

1. Cut brown paper into small strips.
2. Glue pieces of paper into shape of basket
3. Pinch toilet roll at the top of one side to create an egg shape, this is your stamp.
4. Dip egg stamp in paint and press onto basket where eggs would be. Voila, eggs are in your basket. Continue adding your desired amount of eggs.
5. Draw a handle on your basket.
6. You are done.
   
   

Some bunny loves you card… 

For this craft you will need;
– Paint
– A card or white paper folded in half to be a card
– Hands to make hand prints
– Your choice of paint
– Pens

1. Decide where you want your little hands to go.
2. Paint little hands (only the 4 fingers and palm – not the thumb) with a paint brush (I find this the best way so you aren’t dipping hands in too much paint)
3. Place hands on card, keeping fingers in a Spock like hand gesture, and lift off. (Spock like hand will give you bunny ears!)
4. Repeat with however many little hands you have.
5. Let dry.
6. Draw details on bunny.
7. Inside card write, “some bunny/bunnies love you, Happy Easter”.
8. Now you have a sweet card to send to loved ones or surprise Dad with on Easter!

Spotty eggs…

For this craft you will need;
– Paper or card
– Scissors
– Paint
– Cotton wool balls
– Pegs

1. Cut out egg shape of the paper/card.
2. Lay out paints.
3. Pinch cotton wool balls with pegs – these are your stamps/brushes.
4. Dip wool into paint and splodge on paper = spots.
5. Decorate your egg how you wish.
   

Our final craft was painting some plaster shapes from Kmart, we buy these every Christmas and Easter, they are perfect for little hands and LuLu just really enjoys them. Big W also has fun sticker crafts and the grocery stores usually have colouring in books and sticker books out for Easter, LuLu loves all of those! We often have a never ending supply of holiday crafts!
