Supplies
- Easter Egg Name Craft Template – download and print the template at the bottom of this blog post.
- Cardstock – you’ll need 2 pieces of white cardstock and 1 piece of cardstock in your choice of color.
- Markers, Crayons, or Colored Pencils – for coloring and decorating your Easter egg.
- Scissors – child-safe if needed.
- Glue or Glue Stick – for assembling your cracked Easter egg.
- Optional: Stickers, Glitter, or Sequins – for adding extra decoration.
Instructions
Print Your Template: Start by printing the Easter egg name craft template on 2 pieces of white cardstock paper.
Decorate the Egg: Grab some markers, crayons, or colored pencils and let your little one get creative with their design. Fill the egg with vibrant colors, patterns, or even doodles — the sky’s the limit!
Cut Out the Egg: Once your egg is fully decorated, carefully cut it out. This is a great way to work on those scissor skills!
Glue to Background: Next, take a contrasting piece of colored construction paper or cardstock and glue your egg to it. Leave about a 2-inch gap in the center — this is where you’ll glue the name in the next steps.
Prepare the Name Squares: Color the small squares (one for each letter of the child’s name). Use a black marker to write each letter clearly on the squares. This helps kids focus on letter recognition and spelling!
Assemble the Name: Now, carefully glue each letter between the cracked sections of your egg. Add just a small amount of glue to avoid making a mess.
