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 :).

Easter Egg Paper Weaving Craft

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.
