Benefits of Making Coffee Filter Easter Eggs
Preschoolers and kindergartners will practice fine motor skills as they color the coffee filters with water based markers.
Elementary school age children can practice tracing a pattern and cutting with scissors.
The main thing is to have fun with coloring your egg! You can add a variety of designs and patterns to decorate them.
Children will love spraying these coffee filters with water and watching the colors blend too.
You can also add this to your science activity planner and use it as a mini science lesson with them: experiment with putting specific colors next to each other creates new colors during the blending stage.
These may require additional drying time depending on how much water is sprayed on the coffee filter during the blending stage.
It’s important to protect your work surface by placing the coffee filters on top of a craft mat, parchment paper, zippered plastic bag, or even a paper plate before spraying.
While waiting for the coffee filters to dry, have the kids work on these Easter coloring bookmarks.
