Craft Supplies:

  • Bright blue cardstock or construction paper
  • White cardstock or construction paper
  • Yellow craft paint
  • Small piece of sponge
  • Googly eyes
  • Black marker
  • Scissors
  • Pencil
  • Glue stick or school glue
  • Paper plate or paint tray

Directions:

1. Prepare the Card Base

  • If turning this into a card, fold a piece of bright blue cardstock in half. Press along the fold to make a clean crease. This will be the background for the fried egg design.

2. Cut Out the Egg White Shape

  • Draw a wiggly fried egg shape on white paper. It does not need to be perfect. In fact, an uneven shape makes it look more like a real fried egg.
  • Cut out the shape with scissors. For younger children, an adult can draw and cut the egg white ahead of time.

3. Sponge Paint the Yellow Yolk

  • Pour a small amount of yellow paint onto a paper plate.
  • Dip the sponge lightly into the paint. Dab it in the center of the white egg shape to create a round yellow yolk.
  • Encourage kids to use gentle up-and-down tapping motions instead of rubbing. This gives the yolk a fun, bumpy texture.

4. Let the Paint Dry

  • Set the egg piece aside until the yellow paint is dry. Drying time will depend on how much paint was used. A thin layer may dry in 10–20 minutes.

5. Glue the Egg to the Card

  • Add glue to the back of the white egg shape.
  • Place it in the center of the blue card. Press gently so it sticks flat.

6. Add Googly Eyes and a Smile

  • Glue two googly eyes onto the yellow yolk.
  • Use a black marker to draw a simple smile under the eyes. Kids can make the face silly, sweet, or extra cheerful.

7. Write your Message

  • Use a black marker to write the message on the card:
  • “You crack me up!”
  • “You are an egg-cellent mommy!”
  • “You are an egg-cellent dad!”
  • “You are egg-stra special!”

8. Embellish & Gift

  • Add any other embellishments you see fit and allow it to dry completely before you gift it away!
