Steps for Craft Project

Trace the shape of an egg onto a sponge. Do this for each color egg you’ll want to stamp.

Cut out the egg shape from the sponges.

Use the sponge scraps to cut out shapes like a circle, triangle, or zig zag lines.

Dip the egg shaped sponges into paint and press them onto the canvas. Allow the paint to dry completely before decorating each egg.

Use the sponge shapes to add detail to each egg. Dip them into the paint and have some fun!

You might even cut some thin pointed lines from the sponges and add some grass blades at the bottom if you’d like.

Have an egg-cellent and egg-tra special Easter season with your students! Enjoy!
