Directions for the Easter Egg Wreath for Kids

This beautiful Easter egg wreath will look lovely hanging on your front door! Follow the how-to instructions and helpful tutorial photos below to learn how to make it.

STEP 1: Download and print the Paper Easter Egg Wreath Template. Our template is available free for personal use in the supplies list. Download it to your device and then print it on cardstock. If desired, print the wreath frame and bow on colored cardstock.

The PDF file includes a wreath form, Easter egg templates, and a bow template.

STEP 2: Color the egg shapes. Use markers, crayons, or colored pencils to color in the Easter eggs. We used our favorite Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. The Easter egg patterns are large and easy for small hands to color, but we’ve also included a blank egg template (no patterns).

STEP 3: Cut the templates. Use scissors to cut apart the Easter eggs, wreath frame, and bow.

STEP 4: Put the craft together. Now that you have all the pieces cut, it’s time to put the rest of the wreath together! Use a glue stick to secure the paper Easter eggs to the front of the wreath. When you are finished, glue the paper bow to the bottom of the wreath. If desired, secure a loop of ribbon to the top of the wreath so you can easily hang it up! Don’t forget to have kids write their name on the back of the wreath!

STEP 5: Your wreath is finished. Your Paper Easter Egg Wreath craft is complete. Use tape to hang the wreath to the refrigerator, a door, or your classroom!

Large Group Crafting Tips

Are you planning to make this craft with your class, after-school program, or day camp program?

Know your numbers. How many people have you invited? How many of each item—paper templates, glue sticks, markers—will you need? Assess your art supplies and determine if you have enough or need to buy anything before your event.
Print templates ahead. Don’t wait until guests have arrived to start printing the required pieces. Print ahead of time to ensure you have enough ink or toner, the desired paper weights and colors, and enough copies.
Consider participant ages. Are all the crafters in a similar age and ability range? If not, you may need to tailor aspects of the craft to eliminate potential frustrations for very young children, or offer a way to enhance the craft enough to challenge older, more experienced crafters. For the paper Easter egg wreath, consider extending egg decorating options with glitter, small plastic gems, or a real ribbon instead of a paper one.
Where will you work? Are you having the event outside or inside? Do you have enough table space and chairs? If the event is outside and it’s windy or rainy, what’s your backup plan?
Longevity. Is there a way to give this unique craft staying power for more than a season? Consider laminating each participant’s project so it lasts for many Easters to come.
