Instructions for easy Easter egg craft
Step 1.
Cut out an oval egg shape from the foam tray.
- Kids can draw and cut out their own shapes. They might need help cutting the foam tray.
Step 2.
Cut lengths of craft tape to fit the foam egg. Place a few strips of tape on the table for kids to grasp and add to the egg.
- Washi tape tears easily, without the use of scissors, so kids can tear the pieces of the roll themselves if preferred.
Trim the excess or wrap it around to the back of the egg shape.
Step 3.
Decorate the eggs with colorful self-adhesive dots.
- Talk about the patterns kids make with the tape and dots.
Be as creative as you like! Add stars, gems, paper confetti, or any other embellishments you might have on hand.

How to display your Easter egg craft
Place the eggs in a small tin pot or in a homemade Easter basket on a bed of Easter grass.
Add a ribbon hanger to each egg and hang on an Easter ‘tree’.
- To make the tree, insert a twig or small branch into a basket or pail. We put a piece of modeling clay on the bottom of our ‘tree’ to hold it firmly in the small tin pail. Fill the basket or pail with Easter grass or shredded tissue paper.
We used a tree branch in a similar way with heart shapes on a “feelings tree” for a fun Valentine activity.
