Kid's Easter lesson resources, Children's Easter Crafts: Easter Egg Tree - more fun than an Easter coloring page

Separate eggs and tree.

Great preschool Easter activity for coloring, cutting and matching skills. Use Easter Egg Trees version 1 and 2, colored or uncolored tree, along with either our Easter egg coloring page or already colored Easter eggs. Combine them however you like.

Egg Tree Version 3: Fun for grade 1 and 2

See Teacher Information below.

Choose your tree and choose your eggs depending on how much time you want to allow for this activity. To color or not to color, that is the question!

Print enough copies of the Easter Egg Tree you prefer for each child in your class.

The Easter Egg tree uses 5 eggs. The egg activity sheets have two sets of eggs on a page to conserve paper. Cut them in half as shown for distribution.

1. Color your eggs ( if you have chosen the easter egg coloring page).

If you have chosen the colored eggs, go to step 2.

2. Cut out your 5 eggs.

The Egg
The egg is traditionally a sign of new life - for the bird, chicken or whatever will hatch from it. In Christianity, the egg is a symbol for our new life to come with Christ after death.

The Easter Egg Tree
The egg tree is bare, like a tree in winter. It looks like it's dead, but it isn't. In Spring it will look alive again with buds.

Together, the Easter egg and the Easter egg tree serve as reminders of the new life promised to us through Jesus.
