So it's Tuesday

That means I have a craft to share with you!

I spent my day crafting, singing, shaking make believe hands on tiny toes, giving out shoulder rides, and swimming in tissue paper with these sweet kids.


Today we made many a things, but one of the things Imma sharin' with you is, The Easy Easter Egg!

Have tiny tots at your house? They will LOVE this. Have tinier tiny tots as your house? They love the crinkle of the tissue paper. Win win!
What you'll need:
*Colored Construction paper
*Elmers Glue
*Tissue Paper
*Fiskers

How to make it:
1) Trace a giant egg shape on the paper.
2) Help the kids cut along the line, making the egg shape.
3) Have kids Glue a thick line.
4) Let them tear the tissue paper into pieces.
5) Scrunch up tissue paper and stick onto glue line.
6) Repeat with many more lines until you have a very colorful Easter egg to hang up.

Be creative and sing Easter songs while you make these.

Another fun project to try this Easter!
Tissue Paper eggs!
1) spritz or dip egg in water (get it all wet)2) pick up squares of tissue paper one at a time all over the egg.  
(You can overlap them, make pictures, hearts, etc.)3) Make sure the tissue paper gets completely wet!
4) like any died Easter egg, set it aside to let it dry.
(If you cut paper towel rolls into rings, they make great egg holders)
When the egg is dry the tissue paper will fall off, leaving the pretty colors and shapes behind!

So there you go! Happy crafting!
