Easy Easter Bunny Binocular Craft with Toilet Paper Rolls -

When my kids were little, Easter egg hunts were a staple in the weeks heading into (and after) Easter! My kiddos LOVED searching the house for those plastic eggs. I didn’t even have to include anything inside. For them, it was the thrill of the seek. This preschool binocular craft would have been perfect to implement during one of our many (many, many) afternoon hunts. The Easy Easter Bunny Binocular Craft with Toilet Paper Rolls can be used during scavenger hunts of all kinds!

Find out how to make Easter bunny binoculars out of toilet paper rolls.

EASTER CRAFTS FOR PRESCHOOLERS

THESE DIY BINOCULARS WITH TOILET PAPER ROLLS ARE ADORABLE AND FUNCTIONAL. I LOVE WHEN A CRAFT BECOMES AN ACTIVITY TO REPEAT OVER AND OVER.

There are so many important ideas wrapped up in this one little craft! Recycling, Easter, observing, and recording!

After making the DIY binoculars, make sure to give your kids time to explore. Whether you go outside or stay inside, they will definitely want to try them out!

I like to allow free play first, but then I give them a mission! It might be a list of pictures/words to find out on the playground, or maybe just a set of painted Easter eggs hidden around the classroom.

In addition to learning how to make the DIY paper roll binoculars here are some ideas for extending the lesson:

What do binoculars do for our eyes? Why/How?
Who might use binoculars?
What makes real binoculars help us see better?
Do you see more/less when you look through the paper rolls?

Finish the binoculars craft with bunny stickers and colorful tape or ribbon.

Why Is It Important For Kids To Make Fun Easter Crafts?

Besides the fact that kids love crafts that later become toys, there are lots of benefits in doing arts and craft activities with your child.

Develop a Child’s Creativity

Arts and crafts projects are a wonderful way to allow your child to show off their creative side.

Sharpen Listening Skills

Following step-by-step directions is a skill that takes a lot of practice. Art projects lend themselves nicely to a specific sequence to create a final product.

Improve Fine Motor Skills

Cutting paper, gluing pom poms, tying yarn, and anything in between, help strengthen small muscles in the hands and eyes too.

Content Area Learning

I love sneaking any content area learning into an art project! You can incorporate shapes, numbers, patterns, vocabulary and more.
