Easter Egg Flair

I will get to the Soap Cloud's next week. But I forgot to post easter fun!

My kids love to dye eggs, but when they are done...they are done. Left wanting more.

Are your kids the same way?

This year I decided to let them paint with Q-tips to add to the fun. I LOVE how they turned out.

Here is mine...

Here is the set!

White paint I had in the Art Closet. This added an egg-tra 15 minutes of our egg dying fun. They are going to look so pretty on Easter Sunday!

Whaaaaa? Another Egg Carton Craft? YES!

This is so much fun! I have loved the emails on these flowers.

Okay Parents: cut the cartons like this...

Ignore my nails, I am a nail biter.

yikes, apparently I don't believe in lotion either!

Okay pre-poke the holes with a wooden skewer.

Found these green straws at WM for a buck.

The bendy part of the straw is where the neck of the stem will go.

Now have the kiddos paint the cut cartons.

Both sides, Then let dry.

Then cut tissue paper in 2x2 squares and find a mini muffin liner. This is optional, as I liked it with or without.

Then stack the tissue in the dried cups.

Muffin Liner on the top.

then use the skewer to poke through again.

Then slide the straw right in.

So cute!

Here they are alone.

Here they are in my daffodil pot.

You can find the Daffodil Craft HERE

That's it! Kidmade flowers!

Homemade/Kidmade Flowers - Daffodils 3

Mom or Dad cut an egg carton into cup shapes.

Then paint orange.

Then get all of the other supplies ready.

A Sharpie, Green construction Paper, Yellow Cardstock and tape.

Roll the green paper into tubes and then tape.

Once they are taped cut the tubes into different lengths.

Next, draw a 5 point flower and cut out.

Yes, both kids can cut on the lines! SCORE!

Then glue all the pieces together.  We taped ours and they look CUTE!

Easy fun and cheerful!
