Mosaic Easter Egg Craft Supplies

To complete this mosaic Easter egg craft, you will need a few basic supplies:

• Black construction paper
• Colored construction paper
• Glue sticks

Mosaic Easter Egg Craft Prep

First, you will need to prep a large Easter egg for each student. To do this, I like to cut out a large Easter egg from white construction paper to use as my stencil.

Then, I place the stencil on a large piece of black construction paper and trace around the egg using a white crayon.

Next, I prep strips of different colored construction paper. The easiest way to do this is with a paper cutter. Simply cut a variety of 1″ strips.

At each table, I place a basket of the different colored, pre-cut strips of construction paper, so the students can easily grab the colors they would like to use on their mosaic Easter egg craft.

Mosaic Easter Egg Craft Directions

Once each student has their large piece of black construction, it is time to create our mosaic Easter eggs.

First, I model how to snip the strips of different colored construction paper.

Next, I demonstrate how to glue the pieces onto the egg, explaining how to overlap the pieces.

I like to show the students that they can make stripes, zigzags, or wavy lines. They can even glue their pieces sporadically like a mosaic.

Once our Easter egg masterpieces are finished, I display them as our spring bulletin board.
