Easter Wreath
Since we are busy trying to find a new house and trying to pack up our current house I am sharing a craft with you from last year. Hailey made this when she was 17 months old.
You will need a paper plate or a large piece of card stock, construction paper, scissors, and glue.
Cut out the center of the paper plate or the card stock (which is what I used because I was out of paper plates). Cut egg shapes out of different colored construction paper. Then let the kids decorate the eggs with crayons, markers and stickers.
Of course I had to cut the “eggs” out (I think age 3 is probably the right time to start allowing children to try out scissors on their own). But, Hailey did the coloring and even the gluing herself. While we were working on this acitivity I made sure to talk about the oval shape of the eggs as well as the circle shape of the wreath. I also made note of the colors of the eggs and the colors of the crayons Hailey was using. She LOVED it and cried when we were all done. So, here are some pictures of the fun.
Hailey was so proud when she saw her Easter Egg wreath hanging up.
