The kids will use a paintbrush to paint colors on the eggs. If they want several colors on the eggs, it’s best to use the paintbrush!

Once they have the paint on the masher, they can place it on the paper to make the stamp. Once they make several stamps and want new colors, they will wash it off in the sensory bin of water. Then, dry it off with a paper towel and use different paints.

#3: Puffy Paint Easter Eggs

Puffy paint is a fun and simple DIY that you can put together in just a few minutes.

Let the eggs sit for 15-20 minutes! The longer they sit, the better they will turn out.

Run them under cool water and pat dry with a paper towel! Check out your awesome Easter eggs.
