11 Dragon Egg Craft For Kids

I love these 11 Dragon Egg Craft For Kids. It’s fun to come up with a bunch of projects for kids, and this one is easy for all ages. 

We’ve been having fun making our own playdough and using it to press into the egg carton to print out our own dragon eggs. It’s also a great way to celebrate Easter or get ready for any other upcoming holiday!

Love How Books Can Bring Our Imaginations Alive

The kids are really into Rick Riordan’s The Dragonets of Destiny series, so we’ve been rolling right along with that theme. 

First, we made dragon eggs, then homemade play dough since dragons love to treasure and by golly, dragon eggs are definitely a treasure at this point in the story. Dragon eggs are a popular theme at our house these days.

We’ve been reading The Dragonets of Destiny series by Tui T. Sutherland, and the kids are really into it! The story follows four dragonets who must learn to work together to save the world from evil forces. 

Each one finds a magic stone that helps them transform into their own type of dragon for special powers and abilities. They also each have dragon friends that help them when they need it most. Our books will tell you more about those things, but if you want an idea of what we’re talking about, check out this video trailer

Nice Way To Decorate A Table Or Part Of Your Home

The dragon egg is a great way to decorate a table or any other part of your home. They are easy to make and will look great on display for years to come!

  • Use it as a centerpiece at your next event.
  • Use it as a decoration for your party room or buffet tables.
  • Give one as party favors for guests who attended your event. (It can also be used as an ice breaker!)

Very Easy To Make

They are very easy to make, and you can use whatever materials you have on hand.

They are cheap to make since they require no fancy materials or tools.

They are fun to make—and even more fun once the kids start playing with them!

Using old egg cartons as a base for your dragon eggs keeps them from being too expensive or overwhelming for young children who may be less interested in creating something elaborate.

You can also recycle leftover paint and glitter glue into creative new projects!

Paint With Gold Leaf For A Shiny Touch

Gold leaf is made by combining gold with a binding agent, such as gum arabic or gelatin. It is then formed into very thin sheets that can be applied to objects with heat and pressure.

Gold leaf is a type of metal leaf that comes in many different sizes, ranging from 0.03 mm (0.0012 inches) thick to 0.5 mm (0.02 inches). 

It has been used for decoration since the 6th century BC, but you don’t need to go back that far for inspiration—just look at your jewelry box! If you don’t have any gold jewelry lying around, check out these instructions on how to make your own using aluminum foil and baking soda! 

The next time one of these egg sculptures needs an extra sparkle or shine during the process of making it, reach for some gold paint instead of regular paintbrushes!

Make Them As Gifts For Friends

You can make these dragon eggs as gifts for friends. Kids who like crafts and art will love them!

You can also use them as a decoration at your birthday party. The kids will love it and play with it, too!

Another good idea is to use the egg as a centerpiece for Easter dinner. Your guests will be impressed by how creative you are in decorating your table!

Recycle Egg Cartons (or foam!)

If you have a crafty child, chances are that you have plenty of egg cartons sitting around in your kitchen. You can use them to create your own dragon eggs! 

Simply paint the inside and outside of each egg with different colors. You can use paper or fabric too. If you don’t have any old egg cartons, foam makes for a great alternative. If you don’t have any foam either, try cardboard instead!

Another great option would be to recycle other materials such as tin cans, glass bottles and jars (with their lids removed), wood pieces (like planks or wooden dowels), metal scraps like wire hangers, and even ceramics if they are thick enough.

They Can Also Be Used As Magnets

You could also use a magnet to make a dragon egg. 

All you need is a piece of wood and some paint. This can be done for painting class or just for fun!

Use Leftover Paint Or Glitter Glue To Decorate Eggs

  • Take leftover paint or glitter glue and allow it to dry completely.
  • Using a toothpick, apply the dried paint or glitter glue onto your egg in any design you like (I chose to make the egg look like a dragon’s egg).
  • Let dry for at least 30 minutes before handling again; overnight drying is best if you want it to last longer than one day.

Inexpensive And Great For Many Ages (No Special Tools Required)

This craft is simple and inexpensive and can be made by people of all ages. 

No special tools are required—a pair of scissors will do the trick. 

This craft can be made by children, adults, groups of friends or strangers who have never met before!

Fun Way To Celebrate Easter Or Any Occasion

These dragon egg crafts are great for any occasion, but they’re especially perfect for Easter. 

So use these crafts to celebrate Easter with your friends or family! You can also use these crafts as a decoration or gift at a kid’s birthday party, an adult’s birthday party, wedding or baby shower.

Bright Colors Make Them Cheerful And Fun!

Colors can be used to decorate for any occasion, event, or holiday. 

You can use them to decorate a party or special event, or even just because! The dragon egg craft is great for kids of all ages because not only does it look cool, but it’s also easy to do. 

The most important thing when making this craft is that you have fun doing it!

You Can Reuse Old Egg Carton And Make These Fun Dragon Crafts

Here are the materials you’ll need to make your own dragon egg craft:

  • Old egg carton or cardboard tube
  • Foam sheets
  • Scissors or utility knife
  • Glue gun or glue sticks and a brush for applying glue (optional) * Paint, glitter glue, gold leaf (optional)

Conclusion

We had a lot of fun making these dragon eggs and hope you do too! Just remember that there are so many ways to use them. You can decorate your house, give them as gifts, or use them in the classroom as decoration. They’re also easy enough for kids to make by themselves which makes them perfect for young children who want their own hand-made crafts but aren’t quite ready for all those glue sticks yet! So next time we get bored with our usual Easter egg hunt routine (or any other holiday), this one is definitely worth trying out.
