Easter Lambs

Have your child trace their hands on black construction paper. Cut handprints out. Place handprints upside down so that the four fingers are the legs and the thumb is the head. Have your child glue cotton balls to the body. Add wiggly eyes for the eyes.

Palm Branch Easter Craft

Supplies Needed:

Green construction paper
Green pipe cleaner
Glue

Cut out a leaf shape from green construction paper. Glue a green pipe cleaner to the middle of the leaf. Let your child cut slits in the leaf.

Craft tip:Using scissors
“Remind your child to keep “thumbs up” when they hold scissors. Tell them to hold the paper with one hand and take tiny little “bites” with the jaws of the scissors."
From Hands on Art by Dr. Jean Feldman
