Why Kids Love This puffy paper easter Craft
This puffy paper is always a hit because it lets kids create fun textures and patterns and then to watch the texture poof up is like watching magic happen!
Kids enjoy it because:

It’s perfect for preschoolers, kindergarteners, and elementary-aged kids.
Supplies for Easter Texture paper project
- Markers
- Magic foam texture paper
- dropper
- cup of water
I tried both Sharpie and Crayola washable markers. Since we were using water, I wasn’t sure if the crayola markers would bleed when the water was added-but both markers worked great!
If you don’t want to purchase a dropper, we used a wet paintbrush to achieve the puffy look.
I linked directly to the magic paper I bought, but there is a few different sets that look cool
They are pretty new to the market so there are not a lot of reviews on any of these!
How to make Easter craft using Puffy paper
This craft supplies could not be easier- which is always a plus when dealing with kids!
Step 1: Draw your picture
Using your markers, draw a picture. Since this is an Easter/Spring craft, we drew eggs, carrots, flowers, and a bunny.
Step 2: Add water
Once you have your picture all done, add your dropper in the cup with water and fill it with water. Start adding drops onto your picture.
Try to keep the water contained to only the picture you drew to make it look 3-D-if you add to much water, it spreads outside of the drawing. So go slow when adding water.
Step 3: Watch the magic
This texture paper puffs up as soon as water touches it! It’s like magic and so much fun to watch
