Busy Bag – Easter Eggs The Kids Can Decorate Over And Over Again

by


This Easter Kids craft is the perfect addition to an Easter Themed busy bag.

The dry erase Easter egg can be decorated over and over again. It’s a great little gift to give small children too. Add some dry erase pens and a little carry bag to finish off this Non-candy DIY kids craft.

Materials:

Instructions:

  1. Print and cut out the egg shape template.
  2. Trace the egg template onto a piece of cardstock.
  3. Cut out the egg shape that you have traced onto the cardstock. Cut it slightly inside of the lines, so that it is smaller than the printed out template.
  4. Holding the egg shape template on top of a piece of transparency paper, cut around the outside of the template. This will give you a piece of transparency paper that has an egg shape, and is slightly larger than your template.
  5. Place a layer of glue on the cardstock shaped like an egg. Lay the printed out template on top, and smooth out all of the bubbles.
  6. Once the glue has dried completely, place the egg shape you cut out of the transparency paper over top of the cardstock-backed egg shape.
  7. Decorate your egg by using dry erase markers to color on the transparency paper. Wipe off with a paper towel and repeat.

Shark Week Learning for Kids

Shark Week generally happens in July, but any time is a good time to learn more about sharks. 

First, start with some fun whale facts like these from Kids Craft Room. Here I learned about the dwarf lantern shark, which is the smallest shark and only grows to about 6-8 inches (about 15-20 cm) long. It also emits light. How cool is that?

Natural Beach Living has some great printable shark information guides, where kids can learn about different kinds of sharks, match the facts to the pictures, or print out doubles and do a shark memory game. 

Living Life an Learning has some great shark activity pages including the parts of a shark, types of sharks, a crossword puzzle and more. Also check out their parts of a shark and word scramble download, and a life cycle worksheet.

Learn about how sharks float with this great activity from JDaniel4’s Mom. 

Need more facts about sharks? This fact pact from The WOLFe PACK on Teacher Pay Teachers includes fact sheets, a printable flip book, informational text, vocabulary, comprehension questions and more. 

Living Montessori Now has a great collection of shark themed activities with a Montessori inspired twist. You’ll find a shark roll and cover, shark phonics and lots more shark activities Deb has collected from all over the Internet. 

Remember the “Sharknado” movie? A Few Shortcuts turned the combination of sharks and tornadoes into a fun science activity. You’ll need a bottle connector for this project but otherwise should have everything you need on hand. Use their template to make your sharks out of aluminum foil. So fun!

You can also do some shark themed coloring with these coloring pages from Encouraging Moms at Home. Or make a cool 3D shark with this template from korkotak. And there are tons of different shark crafts collected in this post from Kids Activities Blog.
