These DIY Animal Eggs are also great for all the crafty moms out there, who are looking for a fun Easter decoration or even as a gift idea.  Plus, they can be used to decorate a planter for the rest of spring or even on a shelf in a playroom.  They are seriously that gorgeous!

I’m thinking about keeping my extra supplies on hand and having the kids recreate these during our annual camping trip too, they would be a perfect afternoon animal craft.

We have the directions along with a free printable template below to make a bunny, a bear, and a porcupine.

After the face and stomach are dry, paint a nose onto each of the animal eggs.  Add a white line on top of each nose with paint to give it dimension.

Next, use a pencil to draw the eyes and a mouth onto the animal eggs.

Once you are satisfied with how the eyes and mouths look, trace over them with a black paint pen or permanent marker.

Allow everything to dry completely, before the upcoming gluing steps.
