Try this fun DIY Easter egg sensory puzzle using recycled cardboard and toilet paper roll.
This post is in collaboration with Pandie! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Niko likes sensory puzzle activities. For this activity, he sorted the pompoms using tweezers to their matching colors then scooped and filled the whole cardboard egg with rice.
We used the pom-poms gifted to us by Pandie. Pom-poms are one of my favorite materials. There are so many crafts and activities that you can do and create with them.
Let’s create an egg sensory puzzle:
Materials needed:
- Recycled cardboard
- Toilet paper rolls
- Paint, colors of your choice
- Scissors

- 1 cup of rice
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- Container with lid or ziplock bag

Extra items:

- Egg holder or any container to hold the pom-poms
Instructions:
- Draw and cut an egg shape from the recycled cardboard. Color it with blue.
- Cut a strip from the cardboard and glue it around the edge of the egg.
- Cut out the extra cardboard.
- Cut out small strips from the toilet paper roll and bend them to form small circles. (The exact size of the pom-poms).
- Glue the small round TP rolls into the cardboard.
- Paint the inside of the TP rolls with your preferred colors.
For the colored rice:
- Fill the ziplock with a cup of rice.
- Pour the vinegar.
- Pour a few drops of the food coloring.
