This blank Easter egg template is one empty egg outline that runs from the top of the sheet almost to the bottom. Nothing is drawn inside it, so children design the pattern themselves with stripes, dots, zigzags or flowers. The outline is a single smooth, dark line with no corners, easy to color up to and easy to cut along. It is an easy page for ages 4 and up, and older children can fill the egg with more detailed designs.

How to use it

A teacher can use the template for a pattern lesson. Each child fills the egg with a design that repeats, and the class cuts the eggs out for an Easter garland or a bulletin board. An occupational therapist can use the long curved outline for scissor practice, since the line bends gently all the way around. At home, the egg can be traced onto colored card to make egg shapes for crafts, or each person in the family can design one egg and compare the results.
