Galaxy Egg Painting Idea
Easter Egg painting can be such a fun activity to do with the kids. I have fond memories of painting Easter eggs as a child. In fact, I am a huge fan of painting easter eggs. I’ve always enjoyed this fun easter activity.
Galaxy Easter Egg Painting Craft
Contents
When I was a teenager living in New Zealand my family converted the garage into a bedroom. After putting up plaster board and painting the walls white, I helped my parents to sponge paint the walls purple.
The walls had a galaxy paint effect and looked really great. Today I am sharing a fun galaxy easter egg painting tutorial which is based on the same principle of base coating and sponge painting.
It’s such a fun craft and the kids will love it. Enjoy!
