Easter Egg Craft Recipes

Download nine different craft recipes for Easter fun. Great activities to do with your kids during Spring break or for your kids to top off their baskets -- many need no special ingredients or supplies.

Colored Eggs
You'll never buy an egg coloring kit again! This simple recipe makes beautiful eggs using just oil, vinegar and food coloring.

Flubber Eggs
Fill large plastic Easter eggs with homemade flubber. Bounce it, stretch it, or pull it apart; a great sensory activity kid's love. Mom's will love it, too. Does not stick to carpets, furniture, or kids! We asked 6 kids to compare this flubber with the commercially available flubber and all preferred the homemade formula.

Other craft recipes to fill plastic eggs:
Play Dough, Putty, Goop

Popcorn Eggs
Easy-to-make marshmallow treats kids love to eat.

Soap Crayon Eggs
For bathtime fun, you can't beat soap crayons.

Sidewalk Chalk Eggs
Economical, and easy to make.
Dinosaur Eggs
Kids will love to hunt for dinosaur eggs; use a toy hammer to break them open and find the plastic dinosaur inside!
