A HUGE thank you to Elmer’s for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are mine alone and I sure hope you take the time to make this Puffy Paint Easter Eggs {Kid Craft} with your child today!

Happy Friday my crafty readers! Easter will be here before you know it, so if you are looking for some creative and artist ways to keep the kids busy this upcoming holiday – look no further because today’s crafty post is for you!

Not only is this Puffy Paint Easter Eggs {Kid Craft} really simple for you to do with your child BUT it’s also pretty inexpensive and creates a fun texture when it’s all done. Then with the finished pieces you can easily display them proudly as is or make a beautiful garland out of them. The possibilities are endless with this timeless craft idea!

So don’t delay – grab those craft supplies with your child today! Then carve some time out of your afternoon to make these beautiful decorated eggs to display proudly in your home or perhaps even use this idea to make one-of-a-kind cards to send to special friends. I just hope my post sparks some creativity in you! Happy crafting my friends!

Supplies:

* Shaving Cream
* Elmer’s School Glue
* Food Coloring
* Paint Brushes
* Muffin Tin
* Foam Easter Egg Shapes {or other shapes you might come across}
* Elmer’s Glitter Glue

Directions:

* First you will want to make your puffy paint. This is done by placing equal parts of shaving cream and glue into each section of your muffin tin {usually I just fill each muffin tin section, half way with glue and then add a squirt of shaving cream on top}
* Now for the colors. For each section, add a few different drops of food coloring. Then mix until it’s like thick frosting. Add more food coloring to get desired colors.
* Using a paint brush, have children place a good layer of “frosting” on their foam egg shapes. Really let that creativity loose!
* To finish the craft, have children add some sparkle by drawing on top of the puffy paint with the glitter glue. Then once done, let it all dry completely before displaying proudly! {once dry, the texture will be bumpy and colors may get darker}

And just because this particular craft post is geared towards Easter, doesn’t mean the fun stops there! Here are two more ideas that are perfect for fall!

Using just a foam pumpkin shape, orange food coloring for the puffy paint recipe and black cardstock – we were able to make “spooky” pumpkins that are perfect for Halloween!

Using turkey foam cutouts, our basic puffy paint recipe and dried pumpkin seeds – we were able to make some festive looking turkeys that are perfect for Thanksgiving!
