With six kids who all love eggs, it’s easy to go through a dozen eggs for breakfast. So we can easily have a couple of egg cartons lying around ready for crafts. My girls love to take “trash” and make creative outfits, beds, houses and more for their dolls.
It is one of my favorite things to watch them do together. They are so creative with their ideas and how to use scraps of material, paper and even egg cartons.
With Resurrection Sunday coming up, you will likely have extra egg cartons coming your way, so why not upcycle them to create some super cute and fun crafts with your kids! Some of these are perfect to welcome spring and some of them are great all year long!
These would also be great to add to a unit study! You’ll find ocean animals, flowers, a spaceship, dinosaurs and more to keep your kids occupied and excited for craft time this year!
Does your family eat a lot of eggs? Do you have a pile of egg cartons lying around? Put them to good use for your next craft day with these fun (and cute) ideas!
