Easter Art Project

by Angela Thayer 7 Comments

Easter is coming up so today I’m sharing how to make a simple cross craft for Easter. Here what you’ll need:

  • canvas
  • paint
  • tape
  • marbles

To begin, take your canvas and put tape on it in the shape of a cross.

Tape Cross

Then get your paint ready. To make clean up easy, I just used a recycled egg carton. We put red, yellow, and blue paint in it and mixed a couple colors together to make purple and green. This was a great art lesson for Troy!

Mixing Colors

For this art project, we dipped marbles in the paint and then rolled it across the canvas. My boys love rolling (or throwing) any round object, so I thought this would be fun for them! This activity is all about using their creativity to make art. There are no rules or guidelines…they can do whatever they’d like! ย **Make sure your child is old enough to not put the marbles in their mouth!**

Marble Painting

Then they thought it would be really fun (and messy) to use their fingers and hands to spread the paint around. There may have been a foot print…or a diaper butt print at some point ๐Ÿ™‚ (Little guy was trying to get around the canvas and stepped and slipped a bit!)

Here’s the final product!

I thought it turned out nicely and the kids are proud of their art work!

    Fun craft! I need to let my kids paint more. We use other mediums for art, but not paint as often yet.
