Make these simple bells from egg cartons. Cut apart the sections of an egg carton. Have the kids paint them, or use the white Styrofoam kind of egg carton. You can make them sparkle by sprinkling glitter on the wet paint or painting with watered down glue and then sprinkling some glitter on. Attach a tiny bell to a pipe cleaner and insert it up through the center of the egg carton section. Bend the top of the pipe cleaner to make a hanger for the ornament.
To make these spiders you will need:
Egg carton bottoms
Pipe cleaners
Scissors and markers
Cut apart the egg carton and give one cup to each child. Have the children draw a silly spider face on their cup and insert pipe cleaners to make eight legs. Use the spiders to act out "Little Miss Muffet" or when you sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
Vary this craft by making ladybugs, caterpillars or ants.
Egg cartons, Green pipe cleaners
Green construction paper
Blue paint, Scissors
Cut the cups out of a cardboard egg carton. Then cut the cups into bluebell shapes. Let your child paint the bluebell shapes blue. When the paint has dried, make stems by inserting the ends of green pipe cleaners into cane shapes. Cut leaf shapes from construction paper and let your child poke holes in leaf shapes and thread them on their bluebell stems. Tie them together with ribbon or put them in a jar or tin can "vase".
