Upcycled Leftover Plastics Easter Eggs Into A Fun Matching Game!
It’s been awhile since I have shared a “Busy Bag Idea” on the Glued To My Crafts blog.
Actually – it’s been WAY TOO LONG! So today I’m making it MY MISSION to share a new learning game activity tutorial that is perfect before AND after Easter!
On that note, currently {as I write this Easter egg matching game post} Easter is probably far from our minds. BUT that means we still don’t have some plastic eggs laying around. Am I right?! Now with all that being said, before you throw them away, why not make a quick learning game out of them for your toddler or preschooler?
With this easy “Egg Matching Game” you can entertain your child for a bit AND teach them some color matching & fine motor skills. All for around $1.00 total {that’s if you have the plastic eggs on hand!}
Besides the upcycled plastic eggs, all you need is a sheet of white craft felt, scissors, a few large colored pom poms and a hot glue gun. Very basic materials!
So if this something that interests you, keep scrolling to check out the quick how-to and recreate it for your toddler today! I just know you both are going to love it!
Happy crafting, my friends! If you don’t mind, I would LOVE to see pictures of your finished matching game from plastic eggs and felt, on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see your Easter egg busy bag in action! #gluedtomycrafts
