Upcycled Plastic Egg Superhero Puppets – Easter Kid Craft

When it comes to kid crafts you have seen on Glued To My Crafts, I generally like to keep it gender neutral, thrifty and super simple for those of all ages to recreate. That’s just how I roll around here and that’s what you can expect {especially with today’s egg superhero puppet tutorial!}

One of my “brilliant” ideas that I came up with recently, is a great way to recycle those cheap plastic eggs we all will be seeing soon ALL Easter long. Not to mention, this crafty DIY idea is very gender neutral – meaning boys and girls will get a kick creating it together! It even has handprint cutouts mixed in so it’s a great keepsake as well!

So without further ado – today I present to you our Plastic Egg Superheroes kid craft idea! Perfect for crime-fighting and Easter themed craft-time! You can display them in your home or play with them like puppets – the choice is yours! Find all the details you need to know, in the full tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures and tag us on Facebook or Instagram when you complete your superhero made from a plastic egg craft piece! #gluedtomycrafts

Superhero Craft Supplies:

* Plastic Eggs – one per superhero egg craft {any size, color}
* Hot Glue Gun
* Glue Gun Sticks
* Craft Felt
* Basic Craft Scissors
* Small Wiggle Eyes – two per superhero egg craft
* Scrapbook Stickers
* Black Sharpie Marker

The Simple Directions:

* For younger children, please have adult supervision with the hot glue gun!!!
* Go ahead and get your glue gun hot and ready. If you need to, go ahead and hot glue your TWO plastic egg pieces together {a fine line of glue on both edges and then pressed together} so they won’t separate while you craft/play with them.
* Then grab your craft felt, marker and scissors.
* Go ahead and use the marker to trace your child’s hand on the craft felt.
* Trim it out to make the superhero’s cape.
* Next, out the remaining felt, cut out a long, skinny rectangular piece for the mask.
* Grab your wiggle eyes and hot glue them to your mask piece.
* Now take your felt pieces and hot glue them to the egg.
* To finish off your Plastic Egg Superheroes, add an “S” on the front, as well drawing a smiling face with marker on the front.
* Then add other embellishments you see fit {think glitter, rhinestones etc} before letting it dry completely and playing with proudly!!!
