I created this kid activity last year after a few of our Easter eggs cracked. What to do with those colourful egg shells?! I devised Egg Shell Art…and it’s super easy!

Egg Shell Art
You will need:
- Small coloured egg shells
- White school glue
- Construction paper
- Washable markers
- Have kids choose a piece of construction paper.
- Then, have kids colour a green stem and green leaves.
- Next, put a dab of white school glue where the flower petals would go.
- Then, sprinkle the egg shell pieces over the glue.
- Allow to dry.
- Done!
I know…too easy right?! But it turned out to be a great Boredom Buster which reused materials and created artwork in an Easter theme. I call that a arts & crafts win.
And we might just do Egg Shell Art again this year…but this time…we’ll break the eggs on purpose 😉
That is a very cool idea that I have not seen before. Well done and very creative.
This is a neat idea. I predict a lot of eggs being served this week.
What a fun idea and great craft for Easter, thanks for sharing it!
Great idea and fun too!
And pretty great to work on hand-eye coordination.
give it a go!
tee hee
I made it up because of broken eggs – but it worked out really great.
Hahah, break the eggs on purpose. Too funny.
This is a neat idea. We don’t “do” Easter in the traditional sense, but I bet my kids would love the crafts.
This will be fun for my little guys! I am going to save broken eggs for the next few days!
That’s a great way to recycle
Exactly!
It was so easy too!
