Use marker pen/paint to draw in the head, body and antennas of the butterfly.


I was thinking to make another butterfly using her lilttle handprints. But before I'm able to draw anything, my daughter had already made it smiley handprints.

Pom Pom Chick Craft

Pom pom Easter chick craft. What you need: 2 yellow pom poms, construction paper, double sided tape, scissors and crayons.

Color orange onto part of construction paper then cut the little feather, wings, feet and the beak as shown below. Color black onto small part of construction paper then cut the two little eyes. Decide the size based on the size of your pom poms. I need to assist my 3-year-old with all these, but older kids can do it themselves. Attach two yellow pom poms using double sided tape and all the cut-outs onto yellow pom poms as shown below.
