Easter Egg Craft and Writing Prompt Worksheets Art Lesson Sun Plan Activity

This Easter Egg Craft and Write is an art and craft lesson with fiction and non-fiction writing built in. Students follow a tutorial to make an Easter egg craft, then choose from a variety of cut and glue elements to give their design its own personality, so every craft turns out different.

It is perfect for 1st to 5th grade, with adaptable templates for different skill levels. After the craft, students complete writing inspired by it, using planning pages, prompts or blank writing pages, and finish with coloring, reflections and a 3 Stars and a Wish.
