Second day of spring here. Yet, we are having another wintry,snow day here. So, the kids are off from school and perfect day to get crafting. And do I have a fun, kid friendly craft for all here today!
See it is pretty much guaranteed here each Easter, we have plastic eggs in abundance in our home. Trust me I still have many left over from years past. And some how I end buying more each year. Plus, family always seems to give my girls plastic eggs filled with candy, too.
Many once again also know I love crafting with washi or duck tape, such as my recent spring vase craft.
So any time I can put my washi or duck tape to use here, I am truly a happy camper.
Therefore, we decided to get some washi tape crafting on for a fun Easter themed craft using plastic easter eggs. Plus, we also used a few more very inexpensive crafting items, including plastic spoons, craft paint, and rice. Once we put it all together, we ended up with fun Easter Egg Maracas that most kids would have a blast playing with.

Washi Tape Easter Egg Maracas Craft for Kids
Materials for Washi Tape Easter Egg Maracas:
- Washi Tape in Easter colors
- Plastic Easter eggs
- Plastic spoons
- Craft paint
- Paintbrush
- Rice, beans, beads or other small items that can make noise when shaken.
Instructions Washi Tape Easter Egg Maracas:
- Paint your plastic spoons with craft paint. You can use any craft paint you have on hand that will stick to the plastic material of the spoons. We used chalk paint since it dries quickly, has a matte finish and requires only one coat.
- Fill one half of a plastic Easter egg half full with rice, beans, beads or any other items you have on hand that will make noise when shaken.
- Tape the plastic eggs closed with a piece of washi tape.
- Once the spoons have dried, face two spoons towards each other and place one of your filled plastic Easter eggs between them.
- Wrap washi tape around the spoons and the egg to secure it in place.
- Continue to wrap the egg and spoons in washi tape until the top of the spoons and the entire egg are covered.
- Smooth the washi tape into place so that it forms the shape of the egg, and let the little ones enjoy shaking and playing with their homemade maracas.
There you have a fun easy crafty family friendly project with Washi Tape Easter Egg Maracas For Kids.

AnnMarie John says
I’m all about Easter and all that it has to offer and this my friend is beautiful! While I’m not so sure I can deal with the noise that a maraca would bring with Madison, we might still be making these.
Janine says
AnnMarie, I was on the fence with the noise myself. But in the end, it really hasn’t been that noisy at all. Plus my girls have had so much fun with them, too 🙂
Mary Lawrence says
I love washing tape but I have yet to craft with it. This is another great idea Janine 🙂 I can’t believe a horrible storm hit the east coast the first day of spring. It’s raining here in Northern California which is no fun. Your Egg Maracas are genius I’m going to make these this week. 🙂
Janine says
Mary, I wish it was just rain. But alas it is snowing and pretty hard here tonight. But still these are a great craft to try and hope you can soon, too 🙂
Meredith Spidel says

Have a wonderful weekend!

Aw, thanks for thinking of us, Diane. Been a crazy month snow wise. But once again the snow is melting here and we are thawing out a bit for the weekend. Not sure what next week will bring though and just hoping spring will indeed find us soon now. Hugs and have a great weekend now, once again 🙂
