Do you ever feel like your kids have too much screen time? Why not get them excited about creating crafts and having fun with something new, like an awesome Plastic Egg Superhero art project idea!

Easter Egg Superhero Puppets

When it comes to kids craft tutorials you have seen on Glued To My Crafts in the past few years, 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!!!

This crafty idea is perfect for any age group, from preschoolers to tweens and teens. Not only will they love getting creative by recreating their own superheroes from items around the house, but it’s also a great way to encourage their imaginative play!

Craft Supplies:

Plastic Eggs – one per craft
Hot Glue Gun
Glue Gun Sticks
Craft Felt
Basic Craft Scissors
Small Wiggle Eyes
Scrapbook Stickers
Black Sharpie Marker

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 before letting it dry completely and playing with proudly!!!
