Printer, or a thick black marker
Crayons, colored pencils and/or markers
Safety scissors
Vegetable oil
Cotton ball
Paper towels
Newspaper

Step 1

Click on template image below to make larger and to print.













 





 


Step 2







Color the design however you see fit, make sure to use brighter colors so the light shines through when finished. Markers provide the most vibrant colors but be wary of purples and reds when only using them.

 

Step 3







Cut out the designs, leaving some of the black outline.

 

Step 4







Flip the designs around and put them face down on the newspaper. Apply oil over the entire back of each design using the cotton ball or paper towel.

 

Step 5







Lay the designs between two sheets of paper towel and blot and/or rub off the excess oil. Be sure to be gentle, this is only paper after all.

 

Step 6







Hang your new beautiful stain glass decoration outside or in a window so it can catch the sunlight.

Doesn’t this make for a beautiful Easter decoration?  Any window will look beautiful with this hung up on it.  Take a picture of your Stained Glass Easter Ornament and post it along with a comment in the comment section below.  I would love to see how your ornament turned out.

Make a Groundhogs Day Board Game Crafts Idea for Kids

This activity starts as a coloring page, then a craft, and finally a board game to play with friends or family.  We have provided you with two templates to print out: a game board and a sheet of six movers.  However, if you do not have a printer, or do not have permission to use one, you can get two sheets of plain white paper and make your own.

Here are More Groundhogs Day Crafts



Make a Groundhogs Day Board Game Crafts Idea for Kids



Make a Groundhogs Day Board Game Crafts Idea for Kids

Crafts Materials Needed:

  • Paper
  • Printer
  • Colored pencils, crayons or washable markers
  • Index cards
  • Tape
  • Safety scissors
  • Pen or pencil
  • Imagination

To start with print out the two pages provided, or draw your own.







Groundhog Gameboard







Groundhog Movers

STEP 1 – PREPARE THE BOARD

Color in the groundhog with your colored pencils, crayons, or washable markers.  I used colored pencils to get the details.  Then you can decide which side is start and which is finish, mark those.  I put START and FINISH, but you could also put WINTER and SPRING.







Add special instructions to spaces, if you want to make the game a little harder.  I put “See shadow.  Go back 3 spaces” and “No shadow.  Go forward 2 spaces” on mine.  Make sure you don’t put too many, and that you don’t put one where another space will end.  I accidentally put “Go back 3 spaces” 3 spaces in front of a “Go forward” space, so I had to change it to “Go back 2 spaces”.  If you make a mistake like this, it’s very easily fixed.








STEP 2 – MAKE THE PLAYING PIECES

First you will pick 6 different colors and color your groundhogs.  Make sure the colors are different enough you won’t get confused during game play.







Now, cut them apart leaving each pair together.  Once you have 6 pieces of paper, fold them in half so the groundhogs of the same color are both facing out.  You can hold it up towards a light to make sure the holes that the groundhogs are popping out of line up.  Then, cut a flat bottom and up around the ground hog.  Make sure you leave the two sides attaches by the heads.  I have included a picture of the pieces at various stages.







Now, take an index card and fold it lengthwise.  Cut along the fold and discard one half.  Cut the other into 3/4″ strips, you will have a little left over that you can also discard.  Now take a 1 1/2″ length of tape and lay it on your work surface, sticky side up.  Place a strip of index card on it, and tape it to the bottom of a playing piece.  Do this for each piece.  Again, I have including a picture with various stages.







STEP 3 – MAKE CARDS

If you are short on time you can grab a die from another board game, just make sure you have permission first.   If you want to play the game following the rules below then you will need 8 index cards.  Cut each one on half the short way and write Groundhog Day on the blank side.  You should now have 16 cards that look like this:







Now flip them over to the lined side and write down how many moves each card is worth.  You will need 4 each of 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Mine has the number at the top and instructions underneath, but you can make yours however you wish.







STEP 4 – PLAY THE GAME

  1. Mix the numbered cards and lay them face down to the left of the board.
  2. Place all colored playing pieces in front of the “start” space.
  3. Youngest player (or whoever made the game) goes first.  They pick the top card from the pile, move the amount of spaces stated, and discard face up to the right of the board.
  4. Play moves clockwise around the board.
  5. If a player lands on a special space they must follow all instructions on that space.
  6. The goal is to be the first player to reach the end of the game.

How to Make Pop Up Easter Bunny Rabbit Cards Crafts Idea and Coloring Printable

Easter is coming up and I have an Easter Bunny Pop Up Card craft for kids, teens, or adults to try. You have the choice of printing out the cards or you can follow the measurements and directions below without printing. Either way, this is a fun, and attractive Easter craft to work through. Good luck and Happy Easter.







How to Make Pop Up Easter Bunny Rabbit Cards Crafts Idea and Coloring Printable

You have 2 options…either print out the Easter pop-up card already drawn out (at the bottom of this page) OR read the directions that are directly below. These directions give measurements for you to make this pop-up card. There are also bunny rabbits below for you to trace, print and cut out, or try to draw. This would work best on card stock, but can be completed on construction paper or any other type of paper.








Below are some Bunny Rabbits to either print out, trace, or attempt to draw to put on your card.







Above are some bunny rabbit images that you can print out, cut out, color in, and then paste on to your Easter card. OR, you can try to draw or trace these bunnies onto a piece of paper. OR if you want to learn how to draw bunny rabbits by yourself – here are many bunny rabbit drawing tutorials.

If you would prefer to print out Easter Cards, and color them in? It isn’t necessary, but this will work out if you can print this card out on card stock….otherwise, just print it out on paper. Below are 2 different Easter cards that you can print out. Most of the directions still apply….such as folding the card in half. Cut out the part of the bunny rabbit that is above the half line. Now you can stand the card up…and the bunny rabbit should stand up above the card and look pretty cool.
