A wonderful Mum at the Twinadoes School, known in our house as ‘Princess Heather, made these awesome plaster Easter eggs for the kids to decorate in class this week.
Princess Heather used silicon cake moulds (for locals, she got these fabulous egg moulds from the Reject Shop – they are on sale now, if they have any left) and plaster of paris (available from any hardware store) to create the eggs. Then the kids painted them with regular, kid friendly, paints.
This is such a fabulous ‘non chocolate’ Easter activity or gift I thought I’d share it with you all. It would also be a great party activity, I am eyeing off dinosaur cake moulds for a certain small boy’s party sometime in the future!
Thanks Princess Heather – both girls loved doing this and their eggs now take pride of place on the shelf in their bedroom!

Great idea. I have to get something small organised for the kids in my daughter’s class next week. It’s so not my ‘thing’.

I’m heading to “the big shops” tomorrow and looking for the moulds. Plaster painting is a favourite activity of the Princess, we used to have a shop local to the old house, but nothing now. They are also handy to have if I know my nephew is coming over.
We actually have to go and get supplies for Easter Bonnet making. Thanks to Nana I think we are going for a floral arrangement with baby chicks.

This is a great idea. I have an upcoming 4th birthday party and might tweak this idea for it – thanks for sharing!

What a great idea! And I love using it at a party, a nice memory for the kids to take home.
