Easy crafts are often the most fun and this foil painted Easter egg craft for kids is super easy – especially as I’ve provided a free egg template to make life even easier for you. This Easter activity is easy to set up and used items you’re already likely to have at home to make a fun sensory painting experience that’s perfect for preschoolers but is still fun for older kids too – these would look great if you used them to make colourful Easter cards!
Foil painted Easter egg craft materials
Kitchen foil
Paint
Plate
Scissors
Let’s make it
Start by cutting out Easter egg shapes from some card, you can either draw the egg shape yourself or use our free template, I recommend using card rather than paper if you can because card tends to be better at holding a lot of paint while paper can get a bit sloppy very quickly!
Next pop some paint onto a plate, using a plate means that it’s much easier to access the paint and dip the tin foil in it. Scrunch up the tin foil and you are ready to get painting! With my kids I’ve always found that they enjoy painting using with foil just because it’s a different material to the normal paintbrushes but it’s also good because it feels and sounds different, making it a bit more of a sensory experience.
