We love the lowly, underappreciated egg carton. Over the years we have shared many craft projects – for kids and crafts for tweens and adults to make. Some of our absolute most popular craft projects are the ones that involve repurposing and reimaging things that you have around your house right now.creative egg carton crafts for kids

We are smack dab in the middle of a (pretty much) worldwide lockdown and craft supplies can be hard to find. So, what better time to reduce, reuse and recycle the things you already own. Like those egg cartons that are piling up in the recycling bin. 

Yep, they used to house and protect eggs, but they can be easily transformed into beautiful and totally creative craft projects. I cannot wait to share our favourite egg carton craft projects with you. I hope we inspire lots of crafting and fun for you and your family.

Egg Carton Craft Projects

Egg Carton Flower Crafts

egg carton flowersOur very first egg carton flower craft – the one that inspired all the others – was our April showers bring May flowers craft. My preschooler created an egg carton flower art display that celebrated the beauty of spring flowers.

egg carton flower wreathWe kicked things up a notch with our tween made spring egg carton wreath. Love the modern, spring colours that were used to create this bohemian style wreath.

egg carton flowers on doorWe couldn’t make an egg carton wreath without including the use of the plastic egg cartons. If you have plastic egg cartons, never fear you can still make gloriously colourful flowers. Our plastic egg carton flowers turned out amazingly well.

Egg Carton Crafts (that aren’t flowers)

Okay, let’s put those egg cartons to use in other creative and crafty ways!

dr seuss wump craft activityWe love reading Dr.Seuss books, they were some of my favourite books from my childhood. So, when we were reading the very funny One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish we were inspired to use our egg carton to make a wump! What is a wump? Well, you’ll have to read the book and make your own.
