Easter Egg Suncatchers Craft for Kids

For April, Earth Day, and Easter I decided to create upcycled Easter egg suncatchers. All you need is a few items and lots of sun. I love things that sparkle when the sun shines through them. Plus they look cute hanging in your window when the relatives come over for Easter!

  • thin cardboard boxes 
  • gold spray paint
  • scissors
  • tissue paper in spring colors
  • hole puncher
  • ribbon
  • pencil
  • tape 
  • mod podge or glue

  1. I used cereal boxes to draw out egg shapes. I also drew the swirls using the thin cardboard. Create diagonal line or zig zags, you don’t have to stick with swirls.
  2. Spray paint the cardboard pieces and set aside to dry.
  3. Once dry add shapes with tape or glue. In my case I added my swirl shapes.
  4. Tear tissue paper into pieces.
  5. Glue tissue paper together onto cut out egg shapes with liquid glue or mod podge.
  6. I hole punched a hole in the top of the egg and hung them with ribbon.
  7. Hang them in the window!

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
