Easter Egg Paper Weaving

We have another great Easter craft for preschool and kindergarteners to share with you – a paper Easter egg knitting craft (with pattern) that helps practice fine motor skills.

So fun and colorful!

We love crafts that bring something special to the table, and this quick and simple Easter craft idea will help practice both fine motor skills and scissor skills.

If you’re not comfortable (especially if this is a craft class) handing out scissors to kids and letting them cut their own, this craft idea is a low-prep idea, so even if you cut everything out beforehand, it shouldn’t take too long unless you have to make 100. We recommend getting someone to help :).

The more colored paper your kids use for this project, the more fun and creative it will be. Of course, the finished product will be beautiful even if you only use one color.

Ready to make one (or two) yourself? Let’s make one!
