Easter Craft Time

 Not only does art help to develop the right side of the brain, it also cultivates important skills that benefit a child's development.  Life skills developed through art include; communication skills, problem solving skills, social and emotional skills, fine motor skills, self-expression and creativity.

Painting an egg shape for her Easter chick's body.

Painting her hand to make prints for the chicks wings.  She has her tongue out consentrating just like her daddy :)

Glueing on some eyes :)

Finished Easter chick.  So cute!

While waiting on the paint to dry on her little chick we got out a glue stick, foam squares cut into egg shapes, and foam stickers all from Dollar Tree and Claire decorated Easter Eggs.  The girl loves to use a glue stick!

One of her many, many eggs.  A super cheap, and fun activity that develops creativity while working on fine motor skills, sorting, and verbal expression :)
