Kids Easter Projects
Kids Easter projects from everyday items around the house. They are un'bunny'lievable!
Bunny Prints using toilet roll and sponges
Put all those toilet paper rolls to good use! In my last blog I told you how to make shape stamps from toilet paper rolls, now let's make a bunny stamp. You will need three toilet paper rolls or you can cut a paper towel roll into three equal parts (remember you want the stamp to be flush). Flatten two of the rolls to create the ears and attach them with hot glue to the third roll that is still round. Now you have a bunny stamp!
In addition, let's create more themed stamps using sponges; you probably have some under the kitchen sink. I used a a cookie cutter as a template, placed it on the sponge and traced it with a sharpie. Then cut the shape out of the sponge. I find that a new sponge is easier to cut than a dried one. After that, just dip the sponge into paint and stamp along. You can also use a fork to create grass!

Watercolor Easter Egg Painting
This a great activity if you don't have access to paint or the ingredients for homemade paint (find our recipe here), as you only need 3 supplies! We create loads of projects at our Toddler Art Days using this technique, and I'm excited to use it to make and Easter Egg painting.
You will need the following:
- Paper (the thicker, the better)
- Tissue paper of any color
- Paintbrush and water
**Note that depending on the age of the child, you can make the tissue squares bigger for younger kids to make it easier and a quicker activity if they lose interest easily.
Step Three: Once the paper is dry, the tissue squares may become loose and fall off. Carefully take off the remaining tissue squares that have not fallen off. Cut out the Easter egg and step back to admire your work, ta-da!
Recycled Notecard Puzzles
Does your kids love puzzles as much as mine does? It's been fun watching him grow and see how he figures out puzzles as the difficulty increases and the number of pieces grow. This craft is simple, but also great because you can choose how many pieces (difficulty) you want to make. These puzzles are made from old 4x6 thank you notes (its what was in my craft stash), and a good size for my almost 4 year old. You can definitely make these full paper size (8.5"x11") for your older kids. I am using scrap patterned paper from my old scrapbooking days and old cards i've saved (Why? I do ask myself that) but you can also print out fun Easter patterns from the web.
Cut out an Easter Egg (or any other design you like) shape from the patterned designs and glue to the card. Once the glue has dried, cut the card into three or four pieces to create the puzzle. Its that easy and can keep you child occupied for a while!DIY Video Here
