Check out this easy kids Easter craft. Learn how to make wax resist paper Easter Eggs.
We used a different technique for these wax resist paper Easter eggs. We used a marker instead of painting them with watercolors.
I love the bright colors from the markers. I think I am going to use markers from now on in my wax resist art instead of watercolors.
What do you think? Do you like to use markers or watercolors?
We used washable kids markers for this project.
I hear many people say that they can’t draw. It doesn’t matter what your art project looks like.
You can always use a coloring sheet or a page from a coloring book to make your Easter egg. Color some of the design white and use your marker to color over it. Then cut it out in an egg shape.

How To Make Wax Resist Easter Eggs
Cut out an egg shape from the white paper.
Using your white crayon, draw a design on your paper egg. Be sure to press down hard when coloring with your white crayon.
Next, color your paper Easter egg with a marker. Darker colors work better than lighter colors. You should notice your white design “magically” appear. The wax from the crayon resists the marker.
You can color your Easter egg one color, or you can use multiple colors.
I hope you enjoy making this wax resist Easter egg craft with your kids.
Ways To Adapt This Craft
We used markers for this craft. You can use watercolor paint instead of the markers. Using a paintbrush, paint watercolors over the white crayon.
You can also use different colors of crayon instead of white. The marker will resist the wax from any color of crayon.
