Easter Egg Paper Weaving

We have a yet another wonderful Easter craft for preschool and kindergarten to share with you – a fun Easter egg paper weaving craft (with template) that gives a great fine motor skills workout.

So fun and so colorful!

We love crafts that give something extra, and this simple and quick Easter craft idea will give a nice workout both on fine motor skills and scissor skills.

If you are not yet comfortable (especially if this will be a classroom craft) with giving scissors to the kids and have them do the cutting by themselves, this craft idea is a low prep one, so even if you do all the cutting before hand it still won’t take you too long. Unless you have to make a 100. We do advise getting some help then :).

The more colored paper the kids will be using with this project the more fun and creative it will be. Naturally it comes out quite nice even if you use 1 color.

Ready to make one (or two) by yourself? Lets make one!
