To help decorate for Easter we created these very easy Easter Egg stained glass plates! You probably have all the materials on hand so it’s also quick to set up for those kids who want to do an activity “right now!!!”
All you need is: paper plates (or plain paper, it’s really up to you), strips of tissue paper and clear contact paper.
Cut an Easter Egg shape in your paper plates. You could also do other Easter themed shapes, such as a cross, Easter bunny or chick! It’s really open ended so do whatever shapes you’d like!
Cut the contact paper to fit the paper plate and place it over the back, sticky side out. Alternately, you could decorate the contact paper first, and then stick it on the plate, whichever method works best for your kid!
Decorate with tissue paper. My intention was to have nice pretty tissue paper lines, but of course my son wanted to just scrunch the paper up and press it on as hard as he can. It’s his art so I let him do it how he wanted. Get creative!
Display on a window to let the sun shine through (assuming there is sun!). It’s cloudy more often than not here in the winter, but sometimes we get a little sunlight through this window!
*Next time I do this I will trim the tissue paper on the sides so you only see it through the egg shape.
What shapes will you make?
