What to do:

1. Open the Easter Eggs
2. Create stamps using stencils. Apply the paper to cardboard using tape (or just hold it in place). Cut the cardboard in out along the edges of the stencil.
3. Apply cardboard to each half of the plastic egg using tape or hot glue.
4. ​Dip in paint, then stamp on paper.

You can also skup steps 2-4, and just use the Easter egg halves as circle stamps to create art like the piece below!

Decorated Plastic Easter Eggs

This activity is best for other children or adults.

What you will need:

• Plastic Easter Eggs
• Acrylic Paint Pens, or Acrylic Paint and Small Brushes

What to do: Using acrylic paint, apply dots, lines, swirls, or other designs to the plastic easter eggs. 

Take it a step further! Using twine or ribbon and a hot glue gun, you can create garland out of the eggs by apply a dot of hot glue to the back, and affixing the eggs to the string. Or, if you have a cute basket, glass vase, or centerpiece bowl, place the eggs into that container as a decorative element you can use year after year!

Or, use the eggs for your Easter Egg Hunt!
