Easter Bunny + Easter Egg with Pom-Pom Paint Brush

This elementary-age-oriented Easter craft is an excellent combination of process-art and directed art.

Process Art (Stage 1):

For the expressive background paintings, the instructions are to paint and have fun; no other guidelines or prompting need to be given. When we did this project, my kids had no idea what the end project would be.

Directed Art (Stage 2):

After completing our Pom-Pom free-form, experimental paintings, we decided to use them in an Easter-themed adult-directed art project. Read on to see what we made, and to grab a FREE template!

Here’s what we did. Enjoy!

This elementary-age oriented Easter craft is an excellent combination of process-art and directed-art. Get creative and substitute pom-poms or cotton balls as brushes. Free Printable for your template, too. Enjoy@ — Finished Easter Egg/Bunny Artwork

Pom-Pom Brush Painting

Today’s project starts by painting a child-directed pattern on a sheet of paper using a Pom-Pom Paintbrush.

Encourage your child’s experimental mark-making with this unique paintbrush. Circles, stripes, blotches, patterns, and each child’s unique paint selection make each design distinct.

Tip:

When the pom-pom becomes completely paint-saturated, switch out the pom-pom with a new fresh, puffy one.

To make your pom-pom brush, simply pinch a pom-pom in the “mouth” of the clothespin.

Use your pom-pom brush to make colorful stripes, lines, circles, dots and patterns.

Easter Bunny + Egg Printable

While your pom-pom paintings are drying, you can start on the second part of this craft: the Easter Bunny + Easter Egg cutout.

We made a FREE PRINTABLE for you to use as a tracer and cutting pattern for the Easter Bunny/Easter Egg design combination.

Bunny Craft Instructions

Print your tracer (free printable).
Cut out the “Easter Egg” shape on your tracer printout.
Use the tracer to trace/transfer the design onto your craft’s piece of paper. We recommend using construction paper or cardstock.
Cut out the “Easter Egg” shape on your final design.
Decorate your bunny’s face, and maybe even include large googly eyes.
Don’t forget to add details to the inside of the bunny ears!
When your pom-pom painted designs are dry, glue them to the back of your bunny.
Show off your design by displaying it prominently in your home or school!
