Hip, hip hooray for another craft foam egg kid craft idea! This time we are making AVOCADO FRIENDS!
I know, I know – this crafty idea “may” be a little outside the box BUT when an idea hits me, it really HITS me! Hopefully you see the vision like I do! #gluedtomycrafts
As I was brainstorming the other day on what to do with some leftover green craft foam eggs, I instantly saw an avocado {it’s strange how my brain works!} After playing around with the idea, a face was added to the crafty piece and avocado friends were born {similar to our donut friends from the other day!}
So whether you love avocados {or your child does} or you just want to make something “different” to craft up today…I hope you are inspired by this quick and easy craft foam egg craft tutorial!
Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou
Craft Foam Avocado Friends Craft Supplies:
* Green Craft Foam Egg Shapes {I got mine at Michaels}
* Dark Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Tan Cardstock
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Wiggle Eyes
* Markers
optional – Pipe Cleaners and Stapler
Directions:
* First things first – paint the rim of your craft foam egg shape, dark green. You don’t want this “rim” paint line too thick. Once done, set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab your tan cardstock and scissors. Cut out a medium sized circle for your avocado “pit.” This will become the face of your avocado.
* Add facial embellishments to your circle piece, like wiggle eyes, a smile etc.
* Now glue that finished piece to the center of your painted craft foam egg.
* Finally – you can either leave your avocado friend like this now {like my first pictures in this post} or you can add some pipe cleaner legs and arms like the picture below. I just loved the look of the first pictures better. It’s really up to you!
* If you want to make legs and arms for our friend, simply cut a tan pipe cleaner into four equal pieces and staple it to the sides of the craft foam egg.
* Of course, when you are done with your craft – display proudly for all to see! You could even add popsicle sticks to the back to turn them into puppets!
