Eggsquisite Napkin Rings!! -
Everyone around the dinner table will be amazed that
your toddler made these beautiful napkin rings! This is
a craft activity that you can do with your toddler over
a few days:
On the first day:
Take a piece of paper (preferably cardstock) and have
your toddler help you put glue all over it. Smear it
around with your fingers. Then take some tissue paper of
all different colors and rip it up into little pieces
and put on top of the glue. (You can also use a little
bit of metallic wrapping paper if you have any.) Put it
aside to dry. Talk about the colors of the paper while
sticking them to the glue.
On the second day:
Put some newspaper on the table and let your toddler
paint over the tissue paper sheet. Use some washable
kids paints with a little water and watch as the paint
blends in with the tissue paper and makes some very neat
designs and colors. Let your toddler use a paintbrush or
just his/her fingers. Cover the whole sheet with all
sorts of colors. Put it aside to dry.
On the third day:
Take a toilet paper or paper towel roll and cover it
by gluing some tissue paper or shiny wrapping paper to
it. Put it aside to dry. Now print out the
egg template sheet
and use it to cut out some eggs from the painted tissue
paper sheet your toddler created.
Now take the paper towel roll
that you covered and cut off about 1-inch bands that
you'll use to put around the napkins. Take some tape and
put it through the band to affix to the back of an egg
cutout. Have your toddler help you push the tape to the
back of the colorful eggs! Now you have made some
eqqsquisite napkin holders!
