cardstock Easter egg animals

Happy Easter to ewe!

These Easter egg animals would be so fun to craft with kids. Depending on their age, they can help paint (or dye) the eggs, then glue the pieces on. If you end up using the spun cotton eggs, you can keep this craft around as Easter decor for next year, too!

Crafting tips: Use a pencil to mark out the eyes, mouth, and nose before painting them on. You can also do this craft with your dyed eggs instead of the spun cotton ones.
