Simple Construction Paper Easter Egg Tree Craft For Kids

eastereggtree2 After searching online and through our mailbox magazine for some fun Easter crafts to create for our home school arts & crafts class we decided upon an Easter egg tree.

We saw many cute Easter tree crafts but since we only had construction paper,crayons, glue, and stickers to work with we couldn’t choose any of the more glamorous and elaborate tree designs. However, these construction paper trees worked just fine for our 6 year old! I recommend these for kids ages 4 and up. Complete instructions are below. Overall this craft is pretty simple yet fun!

Basically my knowledge of craftiness lies in construction paper, crayons, and paper plates but I decided to make a go of it anyway.
