Make your own modeling dough, or you can use colored clay. Have the kids use a rolling pin to roll it
out a white piece on a flat surface. Use an oval cookie cut (or reshape a tuna fish can) to make the Easter egg shapes. Then let the kids
decorate the eggs with different colors of modeling dough. They can make stripes, zigzags, or dots. Don't forget to make a whole in the
top, so that you can hang your Easter decoration around the house.
What do you do with all the colored egg
shells after Easter? Your kids have worked hard to create these
beautiful colors, they want to keep them.
One childrens craft idea is to break the shells into small
pieces. Then the kids can use them like mosaic tiles to decorate pictures.
They can make pictures using the shell pieces on butterfly wings, sails for boats, petals
for flowers, walls on houses, wings on a bird or just about anything.
Have the children draw their picture with a
pencil or marker. Spread glue in the area to color using the pieces
of Easter egg shell. Fill the glue section with shell pieces and let dry.
Let us know if you have any craft or activity ideas that children love for
Easter. We'll share them with other visitors to our website.
Send us a note if you have any questions.
