Giant Easter Egg Craft: A Low-Prep, Big-Fun Easter Activity for Toddlers

The Easiest Easter Craft That Looks Way More Impressive Than It Is

Let’s be honest—toddlers don’t do “small” very well. If you’ve ever handed a three-year-old a tiny piece of paper and expected them to create a masterpiece, you know exactly what I mean. That’s why this Giant Easter Egg craft is pure magic. It’s big. It’s bold. It keeps little hands busy. And best of all? It requires almost zero prep, making it the perfect Easter activity for busy parents who love a good hack.

All you need is a roll of white paper, a marker, and whatever toddler-approved decorating supplies you have on hand. Stickers? Sure. Crayons? Absolutely. Dot markers? Always a win. You roll out the paper, draw a giant egg shape, and let your little artist take over!

What You’ll Need for This Easter Egg Craft

• A roll of white paper (butcher paper, easel paper, or even the back of wrapping paper works)
• A black marker
• Stickers, crayons, dot markers, and any other decorating supplies your toddler loves

How to Make a Giant Easter Egg

1. Roll out a big section of paper and secure it to the floor or a table. (If you want to avoid sticker-covered hardwood, the back of a door or even the fridge works too.)
2. Use a black marker to draw a giant Easter egg outline. Add some simple patterns—zigzags, swirls, dots, or lines—to give your toddler a head start.
3. Let them go wild decorating it. Stickers, dot markers, crayon scribbles—there’s no wrong way to do this.
4. Encourage pattern-making (but also embrace the chaos). If they want to put 27 stickers in one corner and ignore the rest of the egg, that’s fine. It’s all about the process.
5. Hang up their masterpiece. Because when a toddler works this hard on something, it deserves a spot on the fridge.

Why This Easter Activity is a Parenting Win

This isn’t just an Easter craft—it’s a full-on toddler engagement strategy. It keeps them entertained, encourages creativity, and builds fine motor skills, all without requiring a trip to the craft store.

• Fine motor skills: Peeling stickers, gripping crayons, and using dot markers all strengthen those tiny hands.
• Creativity & independence: There’s no right or wrong way to decorate, which means toddlers can take the lead.
• Big impact, low effort: It looks impressive but takes maybe two minutes to set up.
• Easily customizable: Want it to last longer? Make multiple eggs or turn it into a family project.

Ways to Extend the Fun

Toddlers have a short attention span, but you can stretch this activity into a longer, more engaging experience with a few easy tweaks.

• Turn it into a scavenger hunt: Hide stickers around the house and have them find and place them on the egg.
• Make it a group project: If you have multiple kids, let each one decorate their own section.
• Create a themed egg: Only use certain colors (pastels, rainbow, or even a blue-only egg just because).
• Use different materials: Try stamps, washi tape, or even tissue paper for extra texture.

A Toddler-Approved Easter Craft That’s Actually Fun

If you’re looking for an Easter craft that doesn’t require intricate cutting, endless supervision, or a magic eraser for cleanup, this Giant Easter Egg is it. It’s simple, engaging, and—best of all—designed to keep little hands busy without driving you up the wall. Just roll out the paper, hand over the supplies, and let the Easter magic happen.
