Busy Bag – Easter Eggs The Kids Can Decorate Over And Over Again

by


This Easter Kids craft is the perfect addition to an Easter Themed busy bag.

The dry erase Easter egg can be decorated over and over again. It’s a great little gift to give small children too. Add some dry erase pens and a little carry bag to finish off this Non-candy DIY kids craft.

Materials:

Instructions:

  1. Print and cut out the egg shape template.
  2. Trace the egg template onto a piece of cardstock.
  3. Cut out the egg shape that you have traced onto the cardstock. Cut it slightly inside of the lines, so that it is smaller than the printed out template.
  4. Holding the egg shape template on top of a piece of transparency paper, cut around the outside of the template. This will give you a piece of transparency paper that has an egg shape, and is slightly larger than your template.
  5. Place a layer of glue on the cardstock shaped like an egg. Lay the printed out template on top, and smooth out all of the bubbles.
  6. Once the glue has dried completely, place the egg shape you cut out of the transparency paper over top of the cardstock-backed egg shape.
  7. Decorate your egg by using dry erase markers to color on the transparency paper. Wipe off with a paper towel and repeat.

Primrose and Bee Punch Needle Pattern from DMC

If you’ve been looking for a punch needle project that’s both cute and calming, let me introduce you to the Primrose & Bee Punch Needle Pattern from DMC. It’s got everything I love in a design—playful florals, a touch of nature, and just enough charm to make you smile every time you glance at it.

This pattern is part of DMC’s free collection (yep, free!), and it’s ideal for both beginners and seasoned punch needle crafters. The scene is simple but sweet: a soft primrose flower in bloom with a happy little bee buzzing around. It has that slightly whimsical, handmade look that works beautifully in a modern or cottagecore-inspired home.

The instructions are easy to follow, and because it’s DMC, you’re getting clear thread recommendations and a helpful diagram that breaks down the steps. It’s designed for chunky yarn or DMC’s Nova Vita eco-friendly threads, but you could absolutely adapt it with what you already have in your stash.

I love that punch needle gives you quick, textured results—you don’t need to commit weeks of stitching to see something take shape. This pattern would look gorgeous stretched in a hoop or sewn into a mini cushion. Honestly, it’s cute enough to gift, and small enough to finish in a couple of evenings.

My favorite part? That fuzzy little bee! It adds such a fun 3D element to the design, and it’s a great excuse to practice your loop consistency and texture techniques if you’re still learning.

If you’re feeling crafty and want something cheerful that won’t overwhelm your to-do list, this little project is the one. Download it, print it, and enjoy the buzz of a good stitch session.

Let me know if you punch it up—I’d love to see your version!
