Easter Egg Crafts

By Noreen Leave a Comment




Many of these Easter egg crafts can be done by kids and preschoolers.

It’s a good idea to be nearby while egg dyeing is being done to help prevent spills or consumption of the dye (by very young children).

Save egg cartons to put dyed eggs in while they dry, and to store hollow decorated eggs. They can also hold eggs while they are being decorated.

Many of the Easter egg crafts that use dyed eggs can also be done with styrofoam or plastic eggs.

It would be fun to make paper mache eggs over large balloons and use these large finished eggs to make giant versions of some of the egg creations below.

Be sure to try some of these really unusual Easter egg crafts.
