Felt Easter Egg Kid’s Activity

Felt Easter Egg Kid’s Activity. Create a fun felt busy bag Easter egg craft for long car trips or at home.

It is spring break here, and I am trying to find ways to keep the kids busy. We don’t usually plan a vacation for this time of year, so it is just me and the kids for a week.

We have planned many activities to get out of the house, like going to the zoo and park days, but I needed more projects while we were at home. Since it is almost Easter, I thought creating a felt Easter egg my daughter could decorate would be fun.

How to Make a Felt Easter Egg

Supplies:

• Felt Sheets, various colors
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun
• Sequins, Rick Rack, Pom Pom Trim, etc.

Cut Egg Shape

First, I found a plain sheet of pink felt to act as my base for the project. Using a coloring page egg as a guide, I cut out an egg shape from white felt.

After you cut out your egg shape, you can move on to the fun part—creating decorations for your egg! The options are limitless for a craft like this.

Create Decorations for Egg

I started by creating a bunch of circle polka dots out of different felt scraps.

I used a coin to use as a guide for my circle shapes.

Next, I created a garden. The flower tops were cut out of pink felt, and sequins were hot-glued on for the centers. The leaves and stems were cut from green felt.

Then, I hot-glued the leaves to the stems and created a patch of grass out of green felt.

Note: If you have a younger child, you may want to skip the sequins, as they could be a choking hazard.

I found some pom pom trim in my stash and cut different lengths. You can melt the ends with a lighter or use fray-check so that it doesn’t fray from being played with.

Lastly, I created a set of rainbow stripes from different felt colors. 

Create Storage Pocket

I created a storage pocket on the backside by cutting a piece of felt in half. I used gold glitter white felt for this.

Hot glue the three edges around the bottom of the pink felt to create a pocket. 

When you are done playing, you can slip all the parts and pieces inside.

Then, tuck the top flap into the pocket to keep everything secure.

My daughter has had so much fun playing with this and creating new designs with her egg.
