String art for kids
Wrapping string around most anything can be relaxing and a great fine motor skill strengthening activity for kids. We used our recycled milk jug cutouts for this craft, and they turned out very nice. You can use our Easter Egg Art Printable for the template, which came in handy for us in so many other projects! Find the link to download below.These Easter Eggs wrapped with string, are so cute and go really well with the children's book "The Biggest Easter Basket Ever" by Steven Kroll, that we read while wrapping our eggs, and thinking about how big of a basket we want to make together.

How to Make Your Easter Egg String Art:
Trace your egg onto your milk jug cutouts.
Cut your eggs out.
Next, you can cut notches into them, which are great for younger children and help hold the yarn on the egg. You can have a range of notches from 11 to 19. It's up to you.Then punch a hole in the top and you are ready to start weaving!
Tada!
These are very fun to make, and hang up during Easter!
