1. Paper Easter Egg Craft

This classic paper egg is a favorite for its bright colors and easy assembly. It’s also a great way to introduce basic shape construction.

Materials Steps
  1. Cut the paper plate in half to create a cone shape. If using construction paper, fold a circle in half and then cut a small notch on one side to allow the two halves to meet.
  2. Glue the two halves together, leaving a small seam. Let the glue dry for a minute.

  4. Optional: Sprinkle glitter over the glue for a sparkly finish.

This activity is simple, safe, and allows children to practice cutting, gluing, and artistic expression.
