Answer 2

Fun! My kids are older now, but here are a few things we did with them when they where little on easter :) Since 3 is a young age, we didnt used to use real eggs , since, even hard boiled eggs crack. We gave our daughter colorful plastic eggs, like the ones for the hunt the next day (wink , wink). We got her pink and purple and green and blue, and pretty colors like those. We then bought stickers and paint for her to use on the eggs. This is a very simple , and traditional craft for easter. Another is if you buy those foam balls at the craft store, she can paint those with easter decorations also. Three is such a cute age, enjoy this easter and enjoy the cuteness :)

Answer 3

How about an Easter basket?
cut an egg box so it only has four compartments
loop a thin piece of card over the top - staple in place
Allow kid to decorate with crayons or stickers and fill with shredded crepe paper and small chocolate eggs

Answer 4

foam eggs and then glue sequins , colored strings, beads and etc. Or a cross with small fake flowers and small straw wreaths for the crown of thorns, all can be found in a craft store and is inexpensive.

Answer 5

How about cutting out a sheep or lamb shape (could use one of those window decorations to trace). Use white paper and then use cotton balls to glue on, they will look like woolly lambs. Or cut out egg shapes with white paper, eggs about 6 to 8 inches tall. then paint on a thin layer of glue mixed with a little water, then place cut out squares of colored tissue paper and then another layer of the glue water mix. I have done this in the past they look like pretty colored eggs.
Just remembered last year we cut out those egg shaped paper and then we painted them with a can of evaporated confectionery milk with food coloring in it and they gave the eggs a glossy look,

Answer 6

But be careful, if they have a diff religion than the Christian Easter holiday (I mean if anyone in the class does) then u should not.

Answer 8

Sheep or Bunny.

-Any 8x11in or large paper, preferably light blue
-Several Cottonballs, about one XL bag per 3-4 kids, plus one extra bag if needed.
-Green Construction Paper, one 8x10in size sheet per 2 kids
-Elmer's White Bottled Glue, enough for each child to glue handful+ of cottonballs on paper
-Beads or "wiggly-eye-bubblies" for animal eyes, 1pair per child

======Get Ready...
-2-3 adult-sized handful of cottonballs for each child
-Two "eyes" per child
-Glue, squeeze-check
-One sheet of [preferably blue] paper for each child
-Green Construction Paper, THINK GRASS-cut zigzag, down lengthwise, in half, one half per child
-One finished, completed example craft
-[optional]Extra cottonballs stretch-pulled apart to look less-compact, fluffy for clouds over bunny/lamb

*Depending on ability/skill level of children, you may need to sketch a bunny/lamb to take up most of the blue paper, best if drawn tail-head widthwise. [Optional: Draw to leave room at top of blue paper for cotton-clouds.]

======Kids are ready!

1. Assign each child to a seat-at-craft-table, or stand-at-craft-table.

2. Names should be written by child or teacher, legibly, to take craft home later.

3. Tell children short explanation of craft, showing them the completed example.

4. "Dot" glue evenly, enough to hold onto cotton...in outline/sketch of every child's craft.

5. Give out the pairs of "eyes", encourage them to stick backs of "eyes" with glue, onto bunny/lamb head area.

6. Give out their handfuls of cottonballs, encourage them to push into glue-covered areas to fill out, cover entire body.

7. [Optional: Give out glue dots and "clouds" encourage them to push into glue-covered cloud area.]

8. Give out about 3 "lines" or "stripes" of glue at bottom of paper, around the feet to the bunny/lamb

9. Give out green "grass" paper strip, encourage them to glue using 8, previous gluing step.

10. Finished! Carefully place in safe cubbies, shelves, usual place. Let dry, flat.
