I’ve been thinking about making some sort of Easter felt board, then yesterday I had the idea to make egg shaped boards for the kids to decorate. Our 2.5 year old really enjoyed helping me, and was so excited to play when they were done!
After she finishes creating a design, we put them up on the mantel with the other Easter decor. I always love it when decorations can be toys too!
They were fast and easy to make, as usual! I just used cardboard from a cereal box, white glue, and felt. Below are some photos with detailed instructions if you’d like to try it out!
First, cut out an oval egg shape from a piece of cardboard. We made ours as big as the cereal box would allow. Then take white glue and smear it all around, especially on the edges. (Little E loved this step!)
Then place the cardboard glue-side-down on a piece of felt.
Put some heavy books on it for a few minutes.
Cut off the excess felt. (I used a rotary cutter for this, and it was super fast and easy.)
Now your board is ready. Off to make the felt pieces!
I used the rotary cutter again for many of the pieces, but scissors work great too. Older kids can even cut their own shapes. Think of whatever designs you want!
Then start decorating!
