Cute & Easy Crafts for Kids

Minion Crafts – Weebles made from Kindersurprise Egg Capsules!

We have been meaning to make this Minion Craft for AAAAAGES. We have been collecting Kindersurprise Egg capsules for weeks now, and making sure that we are stocked up on Googley eyes, which are just perfect for any Minion Craft. With the Easter holidays upon us, we finally have enough time to get on with lots of little crafts. Having said that, the best thing about this minion craft, is that it only takes 5 minutes to make!! Yep, 5 minutes. We simplified the Minions, by adding “paper clothes”, which meant the kids were able to manage (just). Of course you could be more detailed and either paint on their clothes or make some felt ones with embellishments… but then it takes longer to get these finished.

The best bit though.. is that these Minions are also WEEBLES – i.e. they stand up again (well almost always, there not quite as perfect as an egg weeble, but pretty close in our opinion).

    Oh my gosh Maggy, this is the cutest thing ever! I am going to have to give R a bunch of Kinder Surprise this Easter just so we can make these. (And do you know I only recently threw out a whole bunch of these!)

    Hi- I’m from the US and don’t know what Kindersurprise capsules are. What comes in them? The minions are SO cute, and I don’t think our American plastic eggs would do them justice… just not the right shape. Thanks for all your wonderful ideas.

      Kindersurprises are – a chocolate egg – inside is this plastic capsule with a small toy or puzzle in it. Sadly, they are indeed banned in the US! 🙁
