Eastereggcraftsfor preschoolers and kindergarten
We are not really a fan of plastic Easter eggs but prefer working with hollow eggs instead. We love decorating REAL eggs.. and though preschoolers and toddlers may not always have the dexterity to work with eggs, we STILL think it is never too early to introduce them. They will love the responsibilty of working with something so precious.. and if they break the egg shell.. does it really matter? Alternatively, some of the egg decorating for preschool ideas below work really well for hard boiled eggs too! Which make a great addition to the Easter Table! Love these kind of hollow egg Easter decorations.
