If you’re looking for a fun coloring activity for kids to make at home or in the classroom, this spring agamograph will be a huge hit not only for any spring day but also for Easter.
Agamographs are mesmerizing because you will get two different pictures that will change depending on the angle you look at your paper. I can guarantee that kids as well as adults will enjoy this coloring craft.
What I love about our spring agamograph template is that it comes with color code instructions. Otherwise agamographs can be a bit intimidating as you can’t figure out easily what the final images will be in order to know what colors to use.
I created my first agamograph for my first book “Paper Crafts for Kids” but this agamograph is inspired by my latest book “Color by Number Animals“. I took two of the characters in the book: the carrot holding bunny and the sheep, and adjusted them to fit the template.

For your agamograph to turn out great, it’s important that, when you start folding, you do it exactly on the lines. If you do this with young kids, like preschoolers, you may want to do the folding yourself.
