This Secret Easter Egg Art is the perfect craft idea to do this Easter! Kids will be so excited to reveal patterns and designs of the Easter egg using watercolors and a paintbrush. Super quick to set up and no complicated instructions.

You’ll need:

• White cardstock
• Brown (or any cardstock to make a simple template with)
• Watercolors
• Paintbrush
• Permanent marker
• White crayon
• Craft scissors

First, begin by making the template for the egg. Fold the brown (or any color) cardstock in half length wise and cut a half egg shape with the craft scissors.

Unfold and you’ll have a nice, symmetrical egg. Now place the template over the white cardstock and trace with permanent marker.

Next, with the white crayon draw designs and patterns right over the egg.

Using the watercolors paint over the egg to reveal the patterns!

How cute and Spring-like does this Easter egg look?
