Happy Peepin’ Easter
Written by Angela
I love making cards for family and friends around the
holidays! My two year old loves to do
craft time as well so this just makes for a fun time!
This month we have made some Easter cards. These are fun,
simple and keep little hands occupied.
Supplies:
Colorful scrapbook paper (for eggs and cards)
Elmer’s glue
Shaving cream
Yellow food coloring
Paper plate
Fork
Yellow bird feathers
Googly eyes
Orange construction paper
*My tip is to make one ahead of time so that your little one
can envision what you are making.
I started by cutting scrapbook paper squares small enough to
fit into an envelope to mail. I then
used a paper plate and mixed the Elmer’s glue and shaving cream (equal amounts
of each). I stirred it together and added some yellow food coloring. My son
used the fork and splattered the mixture onto the scrapbook squares. On some of
the scrapbook squares I had him glue the yellow bird feathers. We did a few of
each kind.
Once he was done with the shaving cream/glue mixture, I gave
him some googly eyes to stick on and an orange construction paper nose.
I then used some more colorful scrapbook paper and cut ovals
out of them. I zigzag cut the center and glued it to the chick as if it had
just popped out of the egg!
Happy Easter!
