Hello, fellow crafters! If you’re ready to start creating something creative and memorable for the Easter season, you’ve come to the right place! These 18 Fun DIY Paper Mache Easter Eggs Crafts For Kids are going to help you find some wonderful, exciting, and cheerful designs!

It’s all about putting a unique twist on these wonderful and exciting shapes using nothing but paper mache to do so!

For those that want to keep things as classic as possible using egg cups, you can design some wonderfully decorated eggs that will sit right in them!

You can make each one unique and put them around your home so that you can have some eggs everywhere you go.

Similar to that is going to be the basket of eggs that you can fill with special ones created and perfected using paper mache.

Bonus points if you get the little ones in your life to help you create wonderful and thought-provoking designs that are going to make them feel extra special when you put them on display. 

One cool option is using paper mache eggs as holders for candies or other little trinkets that you intend to give away.

You can make them as simple or complex as you want. One of these DIY paper machine Easter eggs relies on a cracked appearance to display its goodies.

Another one has a smooth round opening. And another has beautiful scalloped edges if you want to try something a bit extra special.

No matter what you’re hoping for, you’ll be able to create something pretty special, and it’ll be just right for the celebratory Easter season.

These are great crafts to do for those you love as gifts, and they also help you decorate your home with sentimental and creatively-based designs that make all of the difference.
