If you are looking for Easter activities for school, then you may want to consider making Easter wreaths. Christmas isn't the only holiday that a decorative wreath can be displayed. Before Easter, the children can make their Easter wreaths and then over Easter they can be used as an Easter decoration.
This Easter wreath is one of the simple Easter activities for school that lets children get creative as they make this bright and colorful decoration that can be used on a door to greet visitors or can be hung in a window.
Many Easter activities for school may need special materials but you don't need a lot of special materials to make this Easter craft and you will probably already have most of these things at school. To create these wreaths you will need paper plates, colored construction card, gold or silver paint or spray paint, craft glue, markers or crayons and ribbon. Other optional materials for decorating the wreaths are glitter and Easter stickers.
To make Easter wreaths, start by cutting a circle out the center of a paper plate to leave a ring that will be the base of the wreath. Next paint the wreath base in gold or silver paint or spray paint it with the gold or silver spray paint.
The wreath will be decorated with colorful egg cutouts that are cut from the colored construction paper. Cut out egg shapes of different sizes to use for this.
Decorate the egg cutouts with crayons, markers, glitter, ribbon and stickers.These eggs are glued onto the Easter wreath when the wreath base is dry. They can be glued on to create a pattern of colors and sizes or they can be glued on randomly, overlapping each other. After it has been decorated, put a hole near the top and loop some ribbon through the hole to hang the wreath.
The Easter egg wreath can now be hung on a door or in a window.
This method can also be used to create an Easter nest wreath. To make this wreath, instead of painting the wreath base silver or gold, the wreath is covered with straw. To do this, paint glue over the base and then cover it with straw. The decorated egg cutouts are then glued onto the straw so that the wreath looks like a nest of eggs.
These wreaths can be made by children of all ages. Other Easter activities for school include making Easter baskets, writing Easter poems, making Easter cards and decorating hardboiled eggs.
