How To Make Recycled Egg Carton Mini Easter Egg Baskets with A Crafty Living and Olivia Foster for NANNY SHECANDO

Easter has come early this year! To celebrate our EGG-citement, for a long weekend, family festivities & of course, CHOCOLATE, we made these Mini Easter Egg Baskets! A hands-on, messy craft using just a few supplies from your craft box.

These Mini Easter Egg Baskets are a great way to limit your child’s daily chocolate intake following a weekend of (no doubt) many Easter egg hunts. From my experience, it can be hard for our little chocolate lovers to understand they can’t eat all their collected goodies at once.

We’ve found this to be a fun way for kids to learn about ‘sometimes’ foods, and how often we can eat them. Fill your mini baskets with a few little eggs, or 1 big egg to have each day (or however often you choose)!

Ready for a fun Easter weekend project? Here’s how to make Recycled Egg Carton Mini Easter Egg Baskets with your toddlers and preschoolers.

How To Make Recycled Egg Carton Mini Easter Egg Baskets with A Crafty Living and Olivia Foster for NANNY SHECANDO

Age: 2+ years
Time: 15 mins

You’ll Need:

Egg Carton
Tissue Paper Confetti
Pipe Cleaners
PVA Glue
Scissors
Paintbrush

To Make:

1 // Cut your egg carton into individual sections. This is a job for an adult; it can be super tricky cutting egg cartons!

2 // Make a small hole at either end of each egg carton section. This is where you will later attach the pipe cleaners for your handle!

3 // Cover the inside of each egg section with PVA glue.

4 // Take a handful of confetti and press it into the glue. You may need to tip it upside down to remove any excess confetti.

5 // Take half a pipe cleaner, and press each end into the ready-made holes, folding up to hold in place.

6 // Once dry, take your chocolate (or selected goodie substitute) & place it into your Mini Easter Baskets!
