Below you will find Egg Shell Crafts projects, activities, and ideas for you and your children. Your kids will enjoy these arts and crafts projects with eggshells.
Make a Blown Egg Sculpture Piece of Art
It's not just the chicken that comes from the egg. You can make a pig, an Indian, Pinocchio and many other figures from egg shells. You first have to blow the egg out. Hold it over a cup and make a tiny hole in one end with a needle. On the opposite end, make a slightly larger hole. When you blow through the small hole, the inside of the egg will come out the larger hole and fall in the cup so your mother can use it. With colored paper, water color paints and cellophane tape you can make these decorations. Use your imagination and see how many different kinds of egg sculptures you can make.
Make Egg Head Plant Characters
These are a LOT of fun to make. These are sort of like homemade Chia Pets. Get a cardboard tube and cut it down to the height that you want for your guy or animal. Then cut a popsicle stick in half and glue each of them to the bottom of the cardboard tube. Place the cardboard tube on its feet and balance a cleaned up egg shell on the top of the tube. Paint it and decorate it the way that you want...using fabrics, buttons, paints, or whatever. To grow the plant inside of the egg shell...just place cotton inside the empty egg shell (such as from a cotton ball torn up). Then drip some water on the cotton and some cress seeds. Then put it away in a dark closet. Check it out every few days...when you see sprouting grass-like growths...then it is time to take it out. Put it in front of a window and put a few drops of water on the cotton every day. Then the plants will grow and grow and look awesome on top of your characters...just like hair.
Egg Shell Plant and Flower Holders
Ask your Mom or Dad to save you some egg shells. Now break the edges of the egg-shells as evenly as you can. Take a choclate candy box or a cigar box and take the cover off. With the use of a compass or by tracing cups or lids, mark off six circles, just a little smaller than egg-shells. Cut the circles out nicely and then place the cover securely back on the box. Decorate your box with paint or decorate it some other way. Fill the egg shells with fine rich earth or soil. Place the egg-shells in the holders. Now you can place beautiful flowers in the egg shells to grow. Optionally, as an extra touch you can paint the egg shells.
Make Snow for Your Snow Globes with Crushed Egg Shells
Make a Snow Globe with Real-Looking snow by using egg shells. Crush the egg shells finely by putting them in between wax paper, paper towels, or paper and then beating them with a mallet or like-item...being careful not to damage your parent's counters. Next glue toys, trinkets, or nature items to the bottom of the lid. Allow to dry for at least an hour. Then fill your jar with mineral oil...if you don't have this, use water instead. Then also add the egg shells that you crushed. Then glue the lid onto the jar. Have your parents seal the lid with caulk or hot glue. Then turn it ovber and you have a beautiful snow globe to enjoy forever.
Make Eggshell Vases
You will need an attractively shaped bottle or jar, crushed eggshells (you may dye them if you please), glue, enamel and brush or plastic spray or White Glue watered down a bit, and glitter. Spread glue generously over a section of the jar. Pour eggshells over glue and gently press eggshells in place. Continue this process until jar is covered. Allow to dry. Apply a second coat of eggshells in the same manner. When dry, lightly brush off loose eggshells. Enamel or apply several coats of plastic spray. When dry, add a bit of glue and glitter in various spots.
