If you do not have a printer handy then you can recreate these patterns by drawing directly onto paper. This of course extends the activity with your kids to include some coloring in.
Glue, tape, scissors is all you need from there.
Easter Candy Craft Video Demonstration
Check out the video below for a full walkthrough of the project. This is in a time-lapse format and takes just a few minutes.
Cutting the templates is the bulk of the preparation and it gets pretty easy from there. But we still encourage you to go through the video so you can see how they all come together.
