Easter Activities for Toddlers and Preschoolers: Snowflake Eggs

Well here's a fun Easter idea, even though we are drawing close to the big day! I came upon these snowflake eggs a while ago and was excited to try them out. Turns out they are quick and easy and a little bit addicting.

Take a regular sheet of construction paper and fold it once lengthwise and once again widthwise (isn't that a word?) Then hold the folded side in your hand (left and bottom are folded) and cut a rounded edge on the open sides (top and right).

 Draw shapes and designs easy enough for your little ones to cut themselves, if you trust them with scissors that is!

 My favorite part is opening it up at the end...

 We egged our door and then mailed these beauties to grandparents with a handwritten "Hoppy Easter" from Hazel.

Happy Good Friday!
