Who is this activity for?

If you are celebrating Easter this year with young children, either at home or in the classroom, try this Easter craft activity. Children can use their Easter treat cup to store pens, stickers or even chocolate eggs after an Easter egg hunt! They can express their own creative flair and make choices with their decorations.

Crafting items with small children is an exciting way to build new traditions and help them develop key creative and developmental skills.

How to make an Easter treat cup

Step 1: Draw your cup upside down on the card and draw around it.

Step 2: Ask your grown up to cut out the the shape for you.

Step 3: Cut the circle shape in half, to make two semi-circles.

Step 4: Put some glue on one side of the semi circle shapes and stick one to each side of yout cup. Carefully fold the semi-circle forward, so your chick cup has some wings.

Step 5: Using an orange felt tip pen, draw a triangle on your cup between the wings.

Step 6: Use a black felt tip pen to draw two dots for eyes.

Step 7: For the final touch, put some glue on the back of the cup, and stick your feather on to it for the chick’s tail feathers.

You can make different themed Easter cups for your family or in the classroom. You can make a rabbit or a carrot instead, if you can’t find any feathers.
