Kindness Eggs Craft

Kindness Eggs are a sweet and simple Easter craft that shares encouragement along with a fun surprise. Each plastic egg holds a kind message and a small treat, making this a thoughtful activity for classrooms, church groups, scout troops, or family gatherings. Kids will love choosing an egg, opening it up, and discovering a cheerful note made just for them.

This easy craft can also be used as a kindness project for others. A group might make Kindness Eggs to share at a senior center, nursing home, or veterans facility, with permission first. Use our printable messages or create your own to make each egg extra special.

Supplies

• Plastic eggs
• Printed kindness messages
• Small treats such as candy kisses

• White cardstock

Instructions

1. Print the kindness messages on white paper and cut them apart. Print extra copies if you need enough messages for a larger group.

3. Fold each kindness message and place it inside a plastic egg along with a small treat.
4. Fill a large bowl or basket with the eggs.
5. Set the folded sign in front of the basket so children know they can choose an egg and read their special message.

Fun Facts

The Easter Bunny tradition is believed to have come to America in the 1700s with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania. They brought stories of an egg-laying rabbit called Osterhase, and children made nests where the rabbit could leave colored eggs.
