Our Experience creating this Easter Painting art project

Making this art project was really enjoyable! It only took me a few short minutes to set up this craft and I only used two toilet paper rolls so I saved the paper towel rolls for another craft. My favorite part of this craft was stamping the cardboard tubes on the canvas and seeing all the shapes come together to make this fun Easter painting art.
