How to make roll & draw Easter egg art
- Print the free dice template.

💡 Teacher Tip: This project introduces six types of lines: double straight, zigzag, scalloped, dashed, dotted, and wavy. Practice using the vocabulary words of the lines drawn as you go.
Why this Easter egg art builds preschool skills
Sure, this project is fun, but it’s also packed with learning.
As kids draw different types of lines, they’re working on fine motor control and hand-eye coordination.
They’re also practicing early math concepts like patterning and sequencing (one line after the next!).
Plus, this activity supports visual discrimination skills as kids recognize and replicate different line styles.
Egg-stra fun for older and younger kids
Need to adapt this project for different ages?
- For younger kids, offer thicker markers or crayons and larger egg cutouts for easier handling.
- Older kids might enjoy turning their egg into an intricate doodle by adding extra details between the lines.
Want to take it further? Have older kids create their own dice with even more line styles!
Fun facts about lines and patterns
Did you know that artists use lines for way more than just outlines? Lines can show movement (think of racing stripes on a car), texture (spiky vs. soft), and even emotion (calm and peaceful or wild and energetic).
Smooth, wavy lines often feel gentle and relaxing—like ripples on a pond.
Meanwhile, zigzag lines? They’re all jazzed up and full of energy, almost like lightning bolts zipping across the sky.
Artists have been playing with line art for kids and adults alike for centuries.
And if you peek around your classroom or home, you’ll spot different types of lines hiding everywhere—fabric patterns, playground structures, wallpaper, games, and more
