Chalk Pastel Easter Egg Art

By ProjectswithKids

  • Facebook

This chalk pastel Easter egg art is so fun and colorful and makes a great Easter art activity! The chalk pastels on the black paper really pop and look extra bright. Using white glue to draw in the Easter egg designs acts as a barrier and helps to keep the pastel colors separate.

Pastels are so fun for kids to explore! Take a look at my collection of chalk pastel art for more creative ideas kids will love.

We have used this chalk pastel and glue resist technique a few times and the results are always beautiful! Take a look at these gorgeous chalk pastel sunflowers and learn about a famous artist with this Kandinsky art for kids.

Kids can choose to draw their own Easter egg shape, but I have also included a printable for you to make things easier. Simply scroll down to the bottom of this post to instantly download your PDF printable.

Supplies

  • Easter egg printable, available below(optional)
  • Black drawing paper, cardstock or pastel paper
  • Chalk pastels
  • White glue
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Paper towels

Instructions for your Easter egg art

1. First, draw out an egg shape onto black paper. Kids can draw their own shape or use my printable template provided below. Have kids draw in lines and shapes on the inside of their egg, keeping the design simple.

I used black drawing paper for this project but you can also use black pastel paper or cardstock. The pastels might not look as bright but will still look great!

2. Trace your pencil drawing with white glue. Remind kids to go slowly and carefully with this step. Set this aside to dry overnight. Make sure it dries on a flat surface so the glue doesn’t run.

3. Once the glue has dried completely have kids choose the colors they want to use.

4. Start by coloring in the Easter egg with pastels. The glue will act as a barrier to separate the designs making it easier for kids to color in.

Color one section at a time and try blending the color a bit with your finger to smooth out the pastels.

6. Once the Easter egg has been all colored in, choose a color to go around the outside of the egg. Draw thick lines all the way around the outside of your Easter egg.   

7. Smudge the pastel in an outward direction all the way around your Easter egg. Using your first two fingers or your first finger to smudge will work the best.
