Preschool Easter Bunny Art

Another holiday is upon us, and that means perhaps getting a bit crafty. But how can we keep it as open-ended as possible? I try to make most of the activity be as child-directed as I can, such as the preschool Easter bunny art I’m about to show you.

I wanted this to be hands-on, full of exploration. And FUN!

I also wanted it to be a sensory activity. Some of our preschoolers love to get their hands into the materials, while others are still a bit timid. Therefore, I like to invite them to touch paint and other art materials with their hands as much as possible.

And, of course, I wanted this activity to have a spring feel, so we used pastel colors.

Another bonus? It only requires 2 ingredients. Nice, right?

What you will need:

 

  • Shaving cream

  • Liquid watercolors

  • Pipettes or medicine droppers

  • Paper (we cut ours into bunny shapes)

 Setting it up:

  • Squirt the shaving cream onto a flat surface. (We used plastic trays.)

 

  • Dilute the liquid watercolors with water to your desired strength in a container

 

  • Add a pipette or medicine dropper to the container

 

  • Place the paper onto the tray

The process:

 

 Invite the preschoolers to squeeze the watercolors from the container onto the shaving cream.

Once they have finished adding color to the shaving cream, have them blend the mixture with their hands.

 

Then, pat the paper on top.

 Lift the paper from the mixture and see what type of print it left.

Allow to dry thoroughly.

 

Now, this is where it gets crafty. You can eliminate this part if crafty is not your thing.

 

Add a googly eye and a cotton ball. Then glue to a piece of construction paper. We added some Easter grass at the bottom.

    How fun!! We actually just used pipettes for the first time with our baking soda and vinegar experiment and my 2 year old had a blast with it! I bet he would love this 🙂
