Supplies for this Preschool Easter Cross Craft:
For this simple cross art project for Easter Sunday you will need the following supplies:
– Thin Cardboard – You can use a cereal box or other cardboard from your recycle bin. Alternatively, you can use card stock.
– Scissors – strong enough to cut thin cardboard
– Pencil
– Yarn – any color will do! I love the multicolored yarn! We used some from our local store, but you can find similar yarn here.
– Scotch tape or masking tape
-Free Cross Template (Found at the end of this article).
How to Make a Yarn Wrapped Cross:
First, print our your cross template. Cut out the template.
Place the template on top of your cardboard and trace around the cross shape. Cut out the cardboard shape of a cross that you just traced.
Next, tape the beginning of your yarn to the back of your cross.
Now, wrap the cross with the yarn.
You might like to start on the right side and then move to the left. Or go top to bottom. Or you can go all different directions. There’s no wrong way!
Just be sure that the yarn is tight and secure on the cross. If you get too close to the edges, it can slide off.
Once you are finished adding yarn, use glue to secure the last bit. Or, if you don’t have time to let it dry, you can secure the end piece with tape onto the back.
And….that’s it! An easy preschool cross craft idea!
You can see in this picture, the difference between going all different directions, and being more precise. Both look amazing in their own way!
Going all directions will be easier for preschoolers, but older kids might enjoy the precise technique.
What a fun way for kids to practice fine motor skills!
