Bunny in the Garden - Seed Catalogue Collage

A great use for the seed catalogues we get in the mail! My daughter helped cut pictures of the flowers. I gaver her two different sized circles in white and the bunny ears, googly eyes, pink pompom, white cotton ball and glue.

Spring Flowers Craft with Cupcake Wrappers & Easter Grass

My daughter enjoyed making these spring flowers this morning. She flattened some different sizes of cupcake wrappers and then coloured them. She glued to thin pieces of green paper onto the blue paper and then glued the wrappers at the top. Some of the smaller wrappers she glued into the center of the bigger ones and then glued a button at the very center. Some green easter grass was then glued at the bottom.

Materials: Easter Grass or Green paper cut into strips, Cupcake wrappers (various sizes if you have them), buttons.

Rainbow Craft Projects - Toddlers & Preschoolers

Rainbows are a fun craft for St. Patricks Day, Easter, or celebrating Spring or Summer!

*see the bottom of this post for alternative suggestions and an easy way for a toddler to make a Rainbow Shape*

FRUIT LOOP or MINI COLOURED MARSHMALLOW or SMARTIES RAINBOW - Craft or Snack!! Fruit Loop Cereal or Mini Coloured Marshmallows Glue Construction Paper Have the child glue the coloured cereal or marshmallows into a rainbow shape**. Stress the importance of only eating the cereal that DOES NOT have glue on it! :-D

**Turn this into a RAINBOW SNACK by omitting the glue! Maybe use cream cheese to attach them to a plate and then enjoy eating your Rainbow Snack - another option for the rainbow could be Smarties! Create your rainbows on Sugar Cookies or Cupcakes or Graham Crackers!**

TISSUE PAPER RAINBOW Different coloured strips or squares of tissue paper Glue Stick Construction paper shaped like a rainbow Put a thick layer of glue stick on the construction paper. Stick the tissue paper on randomly.

YARN RAINBOW Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple lengths of yarn Glue Construction Paper Glue lines of glue in a Rainbow Shape** onto the construction paper. Lay a appropriate coloured length of yarn in the glue.

MOSAIC PAPER RAINBOW Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, Purple Construction Paper (just a small strip of each) White Construction Paper Glue Cut the strips of coloured paper into small squares. Have the child glue them into a Rainbow Shape**

-------------------------------------------------

**Rainbow Shape** To make it easier for a young child, draw the rainbow stripes with the appropriate coloured crayon (remember ROY G BIV or Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet) Then they can glue their paper, yarn, or cereal onto each line.

------------------------------------------------

*Any of these projects could have half a Paper Plate subsituted for the constructions paper to change it up a bit!

------------------------------------------------
*Any of these projects could have CLOUDS added to the ends of the rainbow! For the Fruit Loop or Mini Marshmallow rainbows, use large white MARSHMALLOWS! The other rainbows could have COTTON BALLS!
