🐣 Surprise Egg Assembly

🐣 Surprise Egg Assembly✂️ Create with your child — inspire creativity.
Looking to engage your child in something fun and meaningful?
Make a bright and simple paper craft for kids together — it’s not only entertaining, but also develops focus, motor skills, and imagination.
You can print and assemble a complete DIY paper toy using our ready-made template — everything is prepared for easy crafting.
Just a few minutes of your time — and you’ll have a handmade toy for toddlers to gift, play with, or take on the go.
🎨 And most importantly — based on real experience: once a child tries to make just one toy like this, they quickly want to draw and invent their own! Their imagination kicks in instantly, and they happily start crafting similar things on their own.
📥 All pieces can be assembled from our free downloadable paper template available on the website.

Let this be the beginning of a big creative adventure.

Download and print our surprise egg template, follow the step-by-step guide — and you’ll have a bright, engaging kit that kids can assemble, play with, and gift.

💡 Printed colors may appear slightly less vivid than on screen — that's normal.

1. Printing the template

Paper size: A4
Orientation: Portrait (layout: portrait)
Print on both sides: Flip on short edge
Scale: Actual size

2. Tools & Materials

Scissors / paper trimmer – for faster and cleaner rectangular cuts
Glue stick – use a colored one when working with children to help them see where glue is applied
Narrow masking tape – for sealing the finished egg around the edges; decorative washi tape also works well
For lamination – clear tape or laminating sheets (or use a copy center if you don’t have a laminator)
Tape: more accessible, creates soft and flexible elements
Laminating: more durable, neater, especially good for gifts
Pencils or markers – for black-and-white templates (color before cutting and assembling)

3. Preparation & Assembly

Trim the colored or colored-in templates along the outer border — this saves material during gluing.

We recommend using a trimmer — children can use it safely from age 2 with supervision.

Cut out the oval character profile and set it aside for final assembly.

4. Laminate or tape?

Decide first — it changes the assembly process.

4.1 If using TAPE:

4.1.a. Place the sheet on a flat surface and carefully tape from top to bottom, smoothing by hand to avoid wrinkles.

If there are wrinkles — don’t worry, it’s handmade!

Talk to your child: test prints, imperfections, and learning moments are part of the creative process.

4.1.b. Cut out the rectangular pieces (egg and bag – each from 4 parts)
4.1.c. Fold along the dotted line (indicated by an arrow)

4.1.d. Apply glue to the back — along the edges, the fold line, and the center

4.1.e. Fold from the crease toward the edges, smooth out

4.1.f. Repeat for all parts
4.1.g. The bag and egg have an extra fold — they’ll contain accessories later

4.1.h. Cut with scissors leaving a 3–6 mm border

4.2 If using a LAMINATOR:

4.2.a. Cut out the rectangular pieces

4.2.b. Fold along the dotted line

4.2.c. Glue as above (edges, fold line, center)

4.2.d. Fold and smooth out

4.2.e. Repeat for all elements

4.2.f. Fold the egg and bag (they’ll be filled later)

4.2.g. Cut with a 3–6 mm margin

4.2.h. Lay out the elements in the laminating pouch, leaving 5–10 mm between them. The egg and bag should be open flat

4.2.i. Laminate as per your device’s instructions (hot or cold)

4.2.j. Let cool for a few minutes. Cut out with smooth edges

5. Making a pocket in the egg

Take a strip of clear tape as wide as the egg base. Fold it in half — this becomes a non-sticky pocket.

Attach it inside the egg using small pieces of tape, just above the base and under the download note.

6. The bag

Fold the bag, seal the side and bottom flaps from the outside using clear tape.

Now there's a pocket between the handles — place the lunchbox, bottle, and toy inside.

7. Adding the profile card

Glue the character's profile to the inner oval part of the egg using the glue stick.

8. Final assembly

Place the character and the bag inside the egg’s pocket.

Fold the egg and seal it with masking or decorative tape.

💡 Tearing the tape helps the child practice pinching grip — a key fine motor skill. Masking tape can be torn by hand.

🎁 Now gift it or start playing!
