Two really simple Easter crafts! Easter Sunday - pictures of a church, the cross, a bible, a family and room on the craft for students to write something. The second craft entitled Everything Easter contains pictures of bunnies, chicks and eggs.
Students will color, cut and then glue together these Easter crafts! They are two great Easter keepsakes. Have your students make the craft ahead of time and use them to decorate the classroom. Best of all, the Easter Boxes are large enough to hold a treat or two from their favorite teacher!
Made from regular photocopy paper (8 1/2 x 14), all students require are coloring pencils, scissors and glue (glue sticks recommended).
Included are two versions of each craft - a smaller and a larger version. You decide which version will work best with your students.
Suggestion: You can try using cardstock instead of regular paper for a sturdier finished product. As well, I bring in colored straw and a treat for the inside of the boxes! Students love this!!!!
