Last week in K4 Homeschool, we reviewed shapes and worked on cutting out shapes. We are still working on cutting this week as well. So when I saw this craft – Handprint Easter Craft – I knew it would be perfect for our homeschool time. A chance to work on cutting and do a craft is something my Princess loves – a fun easy preschool Easter craft.
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue Stick or Tape
- Pencil
Step 1: Trace your child handprint on colored construction paper. I used 6 colors. Depending on how big you want to make the craft you can do more handprints.
Step 2: Trace ovals for eggs on the colored construction paper.
Step 3: Cut out handprints and ovals.
Step 4: Cut out basket in color of choice.
Step 5: Arrange hand prints to look like a basket handle. Tape or glue together. Attach to basket and place colored oval eggs in basket. Glue or tape it all together.
Do you have any fun crafts for preschoolers?Β Β

Oooh, I hope you share this with Look What We Did over at Red Oak Lane. I can’t wait to do this with my kids this month! I am going to have the kids put their memory verses on each egg, or maybe verses concerning Resurrection Sunday on the eggs. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks, Kay. I will head over to Red Oak Lane next. Great idea about adding Bible verses. We may do that still.
Blessings!

First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thanks!
