- Next up, print out the free MINI egg printable mentioned in the materials list. You will want one printable sheet for each craft project.
- Go ahead and fold your paper piece in half, ensuring the egg designs are on the inside. This crease is essential for the paint transfer magic that happens next!
- Unfold your paper and squeeze small dots of your chosen paint colors onto one side of the egg designs on the printable. You don’t need a lot of paint—just a few drops of each color scattered inside the outlines will do the trick. Too much paint might make the paper soggy, so keep the drops small.

- Now, carefully unfold your piece of paper to reveal your “paint splatter” eggs! It’s always a fun surprise to see how the colors have mixed and marbled together. Set the paper aside to allow it to dry completely.
- While the eggs are drying, you are going to make your crepe paper “grass” for the eggs to hide in. Take the green crepe paper and cut it into three to four long strips.
- To create a grassy texture, you can either crinkle the strips up in your hands or fringe them by making small cuts along one edge. This is a great task for little hands to practice their scissor skills!
- It’s time to bring it all together! Take a fresh piece of paper or cardstock to use as your background. Glue down your strips of green crepe paper “grass” along the bottom of the page. You can layer them to make the grass look fuller and more textured.
- Finally, cut out your dry paint splat Easter eggs and have your child decide where they should hide. Tuck them in and around the crepe paper grass, using a dab of glue to secure them in place.
- Set your masterpiece aside to let the glue dry completely before displaying it proudly. These make wonderful decorations for the fridge or cheerful gifts for family members!
