Getting Started with Easter Egg Crafts
Crafting with your kids is not only a great way to spend quality time with your children and your entire family, but it also helps to develop their fine motor skills and encourages their creativity. Here are a few tips to get started with your Easter egg crafts:
Choosing the Right Supplies
Before you start your Easter egg crafts, you’ll need to make sure you have the right supplies. Some basic craft supplies you’ll likely want to have on hand are listed below:
Colorful Paint
Make sure you snag some kid-friendly washable paints. And, because it’s easter, opt for bright colors or pastel colors.
Paintbrushes
We love Melissa and Doug thanks to the thick easy-to-hold handle and even enjoy painting sponges too!
Glue
be sure to have both liquid and sticks on hand.
Markers
If you’re crafting with a toddler, always use washable markers.
Stickers
Some of the most easy easter crafts involve stickers, so stock up on some affordable Easter-themed stickers to unveil lots of creative fun.
Kid-Friendly Scissors
Kid-friendly scissors are great for toddlers because it gives them the autonomy to cut and craft on their own without the dangers of getting hurt.
Construction Paper
Construction paper is so versatile because you can color on it, cut it out, create cool designs, and more! In the theme of easter, stick with bright and pastel colors.
You can also get creative with your supplies and use items like cotton balls, pipe cleaners, cleaning sponges, marshmallows, and pom poms to add some texture to your Easter egg crafts!
Setting Up Your Craft Space
Setting up a designated craft space for your Easter egg crafts can help you keep your supplies organized and make it easier for young children to focus and enjoy doing their projects. Make sure your craft space is well-lit and has enough space for your kids to work comfortably.
When setting up your craft space, remember that little hands may need some extra help. Ensure your supplies are within reach and your kids have a comfortable chair or kitchen helper to stand in. You may also want to cover your work surface with a plastic tablecloth OR plastic wrap (regular clear plastic wrap works amazing) to keep things like tables, counters, and workstations free from mess.
Now that you’ve got your easter supplies and workstation ready, let’s dive into these crafts!
