Creating these festive eggs helps children explore patterns, colors, and designs. Collaging is an engaging sensory activity that builds patience and concentration, but is still lots of messy fun!

Have fun making your own Easter Eggs Collage on CMOM’s YouTube channel.

Materials

  • Hard-boiled eggs (brown or white)
  • Newspapers or circulars
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Small bowl
  • Crayons and/or markers
  • Scrap paper (optional)
  • Paintbrush (optional)

Make Together

  1. Watch the Colorful Easter Eggs Collage video on CMOM’s YouTube channel.
  2. Hard boil eggs that you will decorate.
  3. Look through old newspapers or shopping circulars you get in the mail or from the neighborhood supermarket.
  4. Use scissors to cut out all your favorite images of fruits, veggies, and toys that you can find.
  5. Place a little bit of glue in a small bowl and mix in a tiny bit of water.
  6. Mix it well.
  7. Using a paintbrush or your fingers, brush the glue onto your hardboiled egg and then choose an image from your collection. Place your image on the egg and brush glue on top until it lays flat. Do this with different colored images. You can do a lot of different layers. Let it dry and enjoy your collaged Easter egg design!
  8. Using the same process cut up scraps of white paper and collage them onto your egg.
  9. When it’s fully dry, color it in with your favorite markers and crayons!
  10. Decorate a few eggs and hide them around your house or apartment to have your own Easter egg hunt!

Tip: For little artists with sensory sensitivity, try wearing gloves while collaging your egg.
