Chalkboard Eggs are the perfect DIY for your kiddos.

They are so fun to make and display each year.

Your kiddos will have a blast creating their one of a kind masterpieces on these tiny canvases.

I have used these eggs as place setting markers.

Or……display them in a cute bunny ear napkin.

You can even hot glue a ribbon loop on the them and hang them from an Easter tree.

Supplies Needed

Blown Out Eggs

Chalkboard Paint

Chalk Markers

Clear Sealer

Q tips

Wet paper towel

Skewers

Cardboard or foam

Directions

1. After blowing out the eggs, place a skewer in each egg.
2. Stick the sharp end into cardboard or foam to hold the egg steady.
3. Spray each egg (Make sure you shake the can well) with chalkboard paint.
4. Gently mist the eggs to keep the paint from leaving drip marks on the egg.
5. Allow the eggs to dry and touch up with paint as needed to make sure that the entire egg is generously covered with paint.
6. To ensure that the chalk adheres to the egg, using a chalk paint pen, cover the entire egg with chalk.
7. Wipe the chalk off with a wet paper towel.
8. You are now ready to create your masterpiece.
9. Place the eggs back on the skewer into foam or cardboard to dry. Or lay them sideways in the carton to completely dry.

Tips for Painting the DIY Chalkboard Eggs

1. When painting each side of the egg, allow one side to dry completely before attempting to paint the other side.
2. Use a Q-tip, dipped in water, to clean up around the painting to get a crisp, clean look.
3. Use a hair dryer on cool setting to speed up the drying process.
4. Plant your pinky finger on the side of the egg where there is no paint to give added stability in painting the tiny surface.
5. Spray the eggs with a clear sealer to preserve the art for years to come.

This DIY is the perfect craft for kids’ birthday parties, Sunday School DIY, and/or Easter Egg Hunt.

You can also display the kids’ Easter egg artwork in your spring tablescapes for years to come!
