For this Easter craft and decoration, all you need is contact paper, pre-cut tissue paper squares, and your eager 3-year-old.
#22 Pompom Painted Easter Egg Craft
@art_with_georgie
This pretty decorated Easter egg craft uses pompoms held with clothespins instead of paintbrushes. It’s not only a fun and interesting way to develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, but patterning is also an important pre-math skill. Of course, if your 3-year-old prefers to paint and smudge their own creations, that’s perfectly fine.
#23 Tissue Paper Dyed Easter Eggs
via: Savvy Mama Lifestyle
There are many egg-dying techniques, but I particularly like this one using tissue paper. Once the eggs are hard-boiled, your 3-year-old can spray them with water using a spray bottle, then cut and shred the tissue paper to stick all over. Spray again and allow to dry. Peel off and voila! Dyed and decorated.
#24 Melted Crayon EasterCraft

My two kids loved the melted crayon rocks we did earlier in the year, so I thought it would be a clever idea to do it with real eggs. Simply hold a crayon onto a hot, hard-boiled egg and let the colors drip and run down the sides, then allow to dry. Of course, be careful of little fingers burning and make sure your preschooler listens to your warnings!
#25 Marbled Easter Eggs with Paint
via: Creative Green Living
This marbling craft uses “marbling paint” and has the potential to be messy, so it may be best to save it for when your 3-year-old is a little older. However, the end result looks simply stunning, and if you use wooden craft eggs, it can make a lovely decoration for many Easters to come.
#26 Felt Easter Chick Egg Cups

First step: Felt cutting! It can be a bit tricky to cut out all the bits and bobs, but once that’s done, let your preschooler do the sticking. The end result? Adorable Easter chick egg cups perfect for any 3-year-old that loves boiled eggs.
#27 Blown Egg Hatching Easter Chicks Craft

The main ingredients for this Easter chick craft? A blown egg and your 3-year-old’s delicate hands. While this one may be better suited for older kids, it all depends on your preschooler’s skills and mood.
#28 Upcycled Eggbox Hens and Chick Craft

Don’t throw out those egg cartons! Instead, use them to create an easy and fun Easter craft. Once complete, any 3-year-old will have a blast playing with these eggbox hens and chicks.
#29 Modge Podged Easter Chick Craft
via: Red Ted Art
For this craft, blown eggs are modge podged with tissue paper and then decorated with feathers, felt beaks, and googly eyes. If blown eggs seem like too much with a 3-year-old in tow, wooden or plastic eggs can be used instead.
#30 Spin Art Bunny Craft
