These DIY Easter baskets are so much fun and very easy to make with paper plates. There is so much scope to be creative with this craft when painting or decorating the Easter baskets. Each child will enjoy making their own unique basket. We decorated ours using tape resist painting technique whereby masking/painters tape is pressed down in a crisscross pattern and painted over with different colours.
Our DIY Rocket Spaceship is made from a disposable soft drink bottle. We love the concept that we get to reuse, repurpose and recycle everyday objects. It’s so important that our children understand the benefits of recycling on the planet.
These DIY Rainbow Christmas Trees are so easy to make as it mainly involves painting and decorating. This craft encourages creativity as you can decorate your Christmas tree however you like. Great for encouraging fine motor skills and creative thinking too!
This DIY toilet roll alien craft is brilliant for encouraging creative thought. Your alien creations can be as varied and colourful as the craft supplies that you own! I wasn’t surprised that the boys painted all of their aliens in different colours… their painting projects have all been colourful lately. This is a great activity for developing fine motor skills through all of the painting and gluing – we even threaded some beads onto the alien arms as we were having so much fun with it.
We’re crafting with our favourite material once again – toilet rolls! It’s our favourite material because it is always readily available and we get to reuse and recycle something that would otherwise be thrown away. It is never too early to teach little ones the importance of recycling and looking after our environment.
