We used the same stamping technique to create our paper flower garland.  Have the kids stamp egg shapes over their entire paper.  For this project, it works best when the egg prints over lap.

Once your paper is full of egg shapes, its time to all a little color.  Like a coloring book, use the watercolors to fill in all the white spaces.  Easy Peasy!  I could fill my whole house with simple easter art projects like this.

It may take a bit of patience to paint all the little areas.  However, we had so much fun painting and chatting.  I love that this little project turned it into family time around the table.

Notice that the cookie cutter prints are not totally connected and slightly imperfect.  That totally adds a little interest and dimension to the piece.

Cookie cutters make the best prints.  It is so easy, and works for any holiday.  Have you seen our cookie cutter shamrock prints or our star filled 4th of July art?  Love it!

It was fun watching the kids decide which color should be placed in which space.  They were very concerned that 2 of the same color would be touching.  Ha!  Love it.  I love how these simple prints turned out.  So easy and perfect for most any age.
