Water Colored Easter Egg

We are started our Easter activities today with this really simple craft.

I cut an egg shape out of cardstock.  Hailey made some designs on the egg using glue.

We let the glue dry all day.

Then Hailey used watercolors to decorate the egg.

The finished egg.

The Chick that Looks Like a Ghost

This is one of those projects that looks a lot cuter inside your head.

I traced Hailey’s foot on yellow paper and she glued it onto another piece of construction paper.

She added some cute little feet.

Then I thought it would look cute if Hailey used her fingerprint as eyes.

But it looked more like a ghost than a chick.

So we added wiggly eyes instead and it looked much better.

Fluffy Little Chick

This week our theme is going to be Farm Animals.  Today we made a cute little chick.

First I put some yellow paint in a bag and added some cotton balls.  Hailey shook the bag to spread the paint around.

Then she squished and squeezed to make sure the paint was spread.

Hailey taped orange pipe cleaners on the back of a yellow oval.

Then she put glue all over the front of the oval.

Hailey put her yellow cotton on the oval.

Then she added some eyes

and a beak.

The finished fluffy little chick.

Bunny Ears

This is another Easter project from last year.  I made these cute bunny ears for Hailey.

It was very simple to make.

How to make it:

1. Cut a strip of poster board about 2″ wide by about 24″ long.
2. Cut out 2 ears out of poster board each about 8 1/2″ long x 3 1/2″ wide.
3. Cut out 2 smaller ears out of white construction paper.
4. Glue the white ears inside the pink ears.
5. Glue the ears inside the band, positioning to fit behind the child’s head.
6. Let the child decorate the head band with stickers, markers, crayons, or colored pencils if they wish.
7. Tape or staple the band to fit the child. Cut off any excess.

Look at how little she was last year!

Hailey thought it was more fun to try to get Dottie to wear the ears than for to leave them on.
