Preschool Easter Crafts - 3 Quick and Easy Ideas

1. LARGE EGG

Draw a large egg onto thin colored A4 card. To save time, cut out the first egg and use it as a template. Students then decorate their egg with a collage of colored paper, tissue, cellophane, sparkly material and dots. These look fantastic when they are done on a range of colored cards and glued onto a dark background as a classroom display.

2. SMALL EGGS

Cut out lots of small cardboard eggs (about the size of a normal egg). The students can do this. Draw some eggs onto A4 card and then photocopy them. You could also use scrap cardboard and draw them by hand. The students decorate these with paint or crayon. These are perfect to use for a egg hunt game. They are also great for counting games. They fit neatly into an egg carton. If you cut an egg carton in half you have an easy counting to six game.

3. BABY CHICKS

Use a large circle of sponge and a smaller circle of sponge (about half the size of the large one).
Dip the sponge in yellow paint and create a chick by printing the large shape at the bottom and the small shape at the top. Here is a great opportunity to talk about big and small! To finish the chicks, let them dry and then using a black marker add two dots for eyes and v's for a beak and wings. If you really want the picture to be special add small sponged circles of different colors for flowers. The stems are added later with a black marker. This process is perfect for a magical classroom mural.
