It's Happy Easter Time Once More!

Here are two super simple Easter crafts you can do with different ages. In the first craft, I made a bunny shape out of cardboard and glued on a plastic bottle top to use as a grip for a stamp. Just either paint the front of the bunny or dip it into a little paint from a plate and stamp a paper. Let the paint dry, glue the little tail on and have the kids write Happy Easter. And you're done. 
In the second craft, I cut a small strip of paper and folded it in the middle so it would stand up. Next, I dipped my finger in a little bit of paint and stamped  the paper four  times. Let the paint dry and draw either bunnies or eggs and write Happy Easter. These are crafts you can do in one class if you don't use too much paint so everything dries fast. And you're done again.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

 Last days of class and everything is Christmasy! I used paint and markers to liven up my students' paper portfolio envelopes with a holly ribbon. The kids loved them! They then added their own Christmas theme decorations to their portfolios. We also made holiday bookmarks which were pretty easy to make with leftover craft paper from the year. And look who I got to take a picture with at the mall! 🎄

Eggs, Easter, and Mr. Rabbit's Portrait

 It's chocolate time again! In Brazil, Easter means chocolate Easter eggs. Easter also brings to mind bunnies. Since we're still basically at home waiting to get vaccinated here, an Easter craft has to be made with something kids have at home, so egg cartons it is. Saw this with a range of different animals on Pinterest and thought I'd use it for a bunny Easter craft, so here's Mr. Rabbit's portrait. One of the good things about an egg carton is that it has some curves to it, which you can use for the rabbit's ears. I cut up a cereal box to use as the base, which is another thing kids will most likely have at home, of course, it can be any cardboard. I used markers to decorate the frame-like base. Let kids get creative here. I used hot glue just because I wanted everything to dry faster. I then painted the bunny white, waited for it to dry, and added the details with a black pen. The pink on the ears is also paint. I used a little bit of red and when it mixed wi...

Easter Part 2

Here's one more craft I did with my 4th-graders. They dipped their fingers in paint to make the little bunnies or eggs. We did the paint one day and the next day after the paint was completely dry, they added the details and wrote "Happy Easter"!  We folded half of a craft paper in half so it could stand up on a table. I had told them they could use it to decorate their houses for the holiday. This was fast and easy.
