Upcycled Plastic Egg Superhero Puppets – Easter Kids 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

* Trim it out to make the superhero’s cape.
* Next, out the remaining felt, cut out a long, skinny rectangular piece for the mask.
