Can you believe Easter is less than 10 days away?
Boy – did that creep up fast on us!
If you are looking to do a simple craft with your toddler to recreate in honor of Easter, I have the perfect craft for you today! I call it “Pom Pom Polka Dot Eggs” and it’s simply allowing your child’s imagination to go wild & paint their egg cutouts however they want!
I changed things up a bit on this post and I’ve even included a FREE PRINTABLE EGG SHAPE TEMPLATE to get you started with ease today!
From there, we made “paint brushes” out of clothespins & craft pom poms to get that great “dotted marbled look” effect. YOU however, can provide and/or use whatever you have on hand. Grab the glitter, glue and fun paint colors & let kids decorate their egg print out however THEY like!
The fun part of this craft is that you don’t need any rules or expectations! Just let them paint {maybe even make a mess} and admire the beautiful creations they come up with! After all – that is the fun part of doing crafts!
Find all the details and free printable below below! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts
