Quick Kids Craft: Easy Spotty Eggs
 |
Hello.. a very quick craft for you – easy spotty eggs – a great way to decorate eggs this easter with toddlers and young children! They are part of a post I wrote for Tesco Magazine.
As a child, we used to colour our hard boiled eggs with food dye and then stick on pictures of rabbits, chicks and lambs… I don’t have any of those stickers, and to be honest, I thnk they are a little boring…. so I wanted an “easy” egg decorating craft for young children, that also didn’t matter if you eat the eggs afterwards (who wants to break an egg decorated as a bunny, cute chick, a lovely owl or even an angry bird?!)
How lovely are these?
All you need to do, is
- Boil your eggs.
- Colour them with food dye (as per my egg blowing post),
- Put on office or teacher’s stickers – they look great with just circles or stars! If the circles are large, you may get a little crease in them, but I think they still look lovely!
Alternatively – have you tried melting crayons onto your hot eggs?

What a great craft for toddlers to do for Easter – I\’m going to try it with the hope that it may get J eating eggs as well. I have pinned to the baby and toddler board
oooh fab Maggy. I have to do eggs for next week at school, these sound very easy!
It was it was! Just the egg dyeing can be a faff.. but you just stick them all into one big bowl of dye and sorted!!
Cerys thanks for the pin!!
These are adorable!! We normally just dye our eggs, but this would be a fun way to decorate them!
So cute!
Thank you
Very cute
I like this way of creating the dots – super easy for little ones to help!
Thank you! We rather enjoyed doing them too!
So cute and so simple! Love it! My kids love sticking on stickers, and they don\’t mind if they\’re just little circles of color! Bet I have some of these left in my teaching supplies…
I like the food colouring idea and also what you said about breaking a chick apart
Cute idea. The bold design stood out to me. I bet my kids would love doing it.
Love this idea! I will have to do these with my nephew next time I watch him. He will love it!
I would love it if you joined my Easter Inspiration Party!
