Marble Easter Egg Painting – easter Craft Ideas For Kids and Preschoolers!
If you’re looking for a fun, low-prep Easter craft ideas for kids? This Marble Easter Egg Painting activity is a must-try! It’s perfect for kids of all ages, and the best part? It looks like a fancy art project, but it’s super simple to set up with things you probably already have at home.
This sensory-rich craft lets kids swirl, press, and reveal their own colorful Easter craft masterpiece. Every egg turns out different, which makes it egg-stra magical!
🧼 What You’ll Need:
- A shallow dish or tray (a baking pan works great!)
- Shaving cream (the classic fluffy white kind)
- Food coloring or liquid watercolors
- Toothpicks or a craft stick for swirling
- A scraper (we used the flap of a cardboard box!)
- Paper towels
- A printed egg shape (grab your copy below!)
- Card stock (recommended for sturdier results, but regular paper works great too)
🎨 How to Make Marble Easter Eggs:
- Spray shaving cream into your tray and spread it into an even layer with a spoon or spatula.
- Add drops of food coloring all over the surface. Use a few colors for a beautiful marbled effect!
- Hand your little one a toothpick and let them swirl the colors gently (this part is so mesmerizing).
- Place the egg cutout face-down onto the marbled surface.
- Press gently, then lift it up and scrape off the shaving cream with a scraper or ruler. (we used a box top and then a paper towel to get the rest and it worked great!)
- Dab with a paper towel and let dry. That’s it!
🐰 Tips from Our Craft Table:
- Less swirling = brighter color contrast, more swirling = softer blended colors.
- If you’re crafting with multiple kids, have a few trays going at once if their old enough to do some on their own!
- Use the finished eggs to decorate a spring banner, Easter cards, or hang them in the window!
