Dinosaur Easter Eggs

This playful paper project for older children is a fun and challenging way to decorate your Easter eggs!  

Materials

• Printables: dino egg2
• Craft or wooden easter eggs
• Paint
• Brush (we used a sponge brush for a textured surface)
• Scissors
• Glue (you could use a glue stick,  white/craft glue or a glue gun)
• Markers (if you would like to colour your own)

We always find these items useful too: 

Directions

• Print your dinosaur parts.  There are coloured ones or ones to colour yourself.

• Paint your eggs and allow them to dry.

• Cut out your dinosaur pieces  (this is an activity meant for older kids or you may need a bit of adult help with this) and fold the tabs.  Folding them out makes them easier to attach, but folding them in allows you to hide the tab.

• Glue the end of the tail and then attach the the tabs a few centimetres apart.

• Do the same for the head.

• For the leg portion, wrap the long tab around and glue it to the line.

• Gently set your egg into your leg portion.
