Easter Craft - Day 1 - Tissue Paper Egg

As Easter approaches, Alex and I are working on daily Easter crafts along with his preschool letter of the day lessons.  Today, we started by making an Easter egg out of tissue paper and construction paper.

I found some pastel tissue paper in the closet that I had leftover from making a gift and cut it up into squares.  I only used two small strips from a few colors.  I happen to have pastel colors on hand so that is what I used.  You can use whatever you have on hand.  I chose three colors for him to use.

I then cut out an egg shape from a green piece of construction paper.  I gave Alex the glue, tissue paper, and egg and let him have at it.  He loves to use glue!!!

This is a quick and simple craft that you can do with your child.  You should have most if not all that is needed to complete this craft in your closet.   This is my kind of craft since I rarely think ahead to go out and buy all the supplies needed for a very involved project.  Use what you have and have fun with your child!
