The Crosses on Calvary

I derived this craft from a project that Cheyanne's pre school class did. I thought it was a perfect Easter craft to share.

We used: an Egg carton cup, playdough (or clay), 6 craft sticks, scissors, brown and gold paint, brushes, Easter grass (or craft moss) and glue.
This can be done in so many different ways, so just use what you have around the house.

Cheyanne painted 4 craft sticks brown and 2 gold.
The 4 brown craft sticks, I cut with scissors so they would make smaller crosses. Round off the edges a bit.
Glue the sticks together making crosses.



Fill the egg cup with playdough and glue on the grass.
Poke the crosses into the dough.
I also cut out an egg shape from construction paper and glued the egg cup on it.

I love this craft. I was looking for something to do with my boys when they get home from school tomorrow (its early dismissal).
I've copied several of your crafts and done them with my boys but never commented.
Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
