Toilet Paper Roll Cross:
http://fullofgreatideas.blogspot.com/2012/01/paper-roll-cross-two-actually-on-my-0.html
These ones are ones I do in school:
Stained glass tissue paper cross:
This is the picture I used, but I edited it to make it easier for little kids. I extended the black lines lines and took the eggs out to make it easier. Older kids can use all different colours like my example. For little ones, do the hearts red and the cross brown, but just put a large tissue paper piece behind them.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.cloversites.com/a4/a48e81e5-39eb-43c5-9d7e-bda542bca5f9/documents/Easter_Cross_Stained_Glass_Coloring_Page.jpg
This one I also did with tissue paper, but construction paper would work too. Make two large rectangles on cardstock, cut them out, and glue them in the shape of a cross. Cover the front with all different colours of paper, then trim away the excess, or fold it around to the back. Kids can decorate it with glitter or sequins too.
This one is done with black construction paper, watercolour paper, and watercolour paints. It could be done with marker instead, and cardstock would work too. Paint the heavy paper with watercolour paints, let dry. Cut out a hill and three crosses out of black construction paper and glue them on. Here’s a template for the crosses and the hill. They could be coloured with marker, or traced on to black paper.
