Pom Pom Polka Dot Eggs – Kids Craft Idea For Easter
Friends! 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! I just know you are going to love making it with your child this month!
Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished polka dot Easter egg creations on our Facebook page wall afterwards, so we can admire your hard work this season! I can’t wait to see what colors you choose for the pom pom painted dots! #gluedtomycrafts
