Pasta Eggs Easter Craft

There are two different ways that you could do these pasta eggs.  The first one is making a piece of art, and the second one can be used repeatedly.

Make sure you follow my Easter board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To do your own pasta eggs you will need:

• Different shaped pasta
• Paint
• Cardboard
• Glue
• Scissors
• Ziplock bag

First Idea

This first way is what Hera and I did.  Start out by cutting out a big egg shape from some cardboard.

Next glue on the pasta onto the cardboard egg.  When the glue has dried you can then paint your egg.  If I were to do this again, I wish I had painted my cardboard first and then stuck my pasta too it.  It would have made it much easier, and I properly would have gotten a much smoother coat of paint on.

NC really enjoyed this one.  She now has enough had strength to squeeze the glue out of the bottle and onto the card.  That was her favourite thing to do.  Although she did get slightly distracted with pulling the dried glue off of her fingers.

Second Idea

This one also requires a cardboard egg, but instead of glueing the pasta on and painting it.  This time you need to dye the paint first.  When that is already you can set it up so that your little ones can use the pasta to decorate the cardboard egg without gluing anything down.  When they are done, they can simply pour the pasta back into the container and create a different pattern.

We didn’t do this version, but it is certainly one I will pull out again for next Easter.
