If your kids are anything like mine, anything that involves rolling a dice instantly becomes exciting. And if candy is involved… even better. My kids absolutely love activities where they get to roll, play, and decorate something fun. That’s exactly why I made this Roll an Easter Egg Printable. It’s simple, hands-on, and feels more like a game than a learning activity.

This Roll an Easter Egg Printable is perfect for homeschool days, spring learning, or a quick activity when you need something easy. All you need is a dice and a few small colorful items.
What Is the Roll an Easter Egg Printable?
The Roll an Easter Egg Printable is a simple dice game. Kids roll the dice and decorate their Easter egg as they play.
Each time they roll, they find the matching circle on the page and place a small object on it.
They keep rolling until the entire Easter egg is covered.
My kids love seeing the egg slowly fill up as they play.
What Kids Can Use to Decorate the Egg
One of the best parts of this activity is that you can use whatever you already have at home.
Kids can use things like:
- M&M’s
- Jelly beans
- Skittles
- Cereal like Fruit Loops
- Pom-poms
- Dot Stickers
- Dot markers
- Any small colorful objects
If your kids love learning with candy, I also created a Free Jelly Bean Graphing Printable that is a fun hands-on math activity using jelly beans. Check it out here!
