Easter egg rocks are an easy and fun Easter craft for kids! Simply paint egg shaped rocks with spring-colored paints and Easter egg patterns.
Updated April 2025
If you’d like an alternative to dyeing Easter eggs, painting Easter egg rocks is just the thing!
The idea is to paint egg shaped rocks with Easter colors and Easter designs. So simple and so fun.
We used this technique to create Easter eggs, but you could also paint rocks to resemble natural birds eggs! If you want to do that, start with a base coat of blue, green, or tan, then splatter a contrasting color over the plain-painted egg.
Painting Easter Egg Rocks
MATERIALS
- Egg-shaped rocks, pre-painted with a coat of acrylic paint
- Acrylic paint
- Paint brushes
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prep your materials
First, we covered our workspace with newspapers and put smocks on the kids, since we were using acrylic paints.
You can coat your rocks ahead of time with a coat of white acrylic paint and let them fully dry.
- Paint your eggs!
We painted our rocks all kinds of pretty Easter colors and added stripes, dots, and designs.
Painting rocks is always a fun activity for kids, whether in the name of Easter, or just because!
Plus they’re extra durable and would be a fun addition to an Easter egg hunt or a spring nature table.
