Yarn Card

To make an Easter yarn card, you will need some poster board, glue, scissors, and yarn. First, fold a piece of poster board in half to make a card. Draw and cut out an egg shape from another piece of poster board. Use glue to make several lines on the egg shape, dividing it into sections. Use black yarn on the lines of glue. Fill the sections with glue and press pieces of yarn into the glue, starting at the outline of each section and moving toward the middle. Glue the egg shape to the front of the card and add a festive Easter message.

Peek-a-boo Duck Card

For this card, you will need construction paper, scissors, glue and markers. First, fold a piece of construction paper in half. Cut out an egg shape, keeping the top of the fold. Open the egg and cut out a jagged window out of the front. Close the egg and write and Easter greeting on the front. Put out some colored paper dots and glue them around the window. Cut out a yellow circle of paper just large enough to fill the window. Glue on an orange beak and black eyes. Now, glue the duck's head inside the card. Write "Happy Easter" on a piece of paper and glue it to the front of the duck. Add orange fee and some paper wings.

Colorful Chick Card

For this cute card, you'll need some construction paper and white paper. Draw a chick on a piece of folded white paper with its back on the fold and cut it out. Color the front of the chick yellow, draw the eye black, and the beak orange. Fold a piece of construction paper for the card and glue the chick to the front. Cut out and glue on some colorful tail feathers. Cut one wing on a fold of yellow paper and glue it to the chick. Add legs and feet with a marker. Outline the edge of the inside of the chick with yellow marker. Write an Easter greeting on the inside of the chick and put a nice message inside the card.
