Hi all!
Today I want to tell you how to make a big Kinder surprise with your own hands.
I made it for my youngest child’s third birthday.
Of course, this is not a miracle for my children, they have seen such eggs many times on the Internet in various videos, but nevertheless they were surprised by such a surprise from their mother :).
And so, what I needed:
- PVA glue;
- water;
- gouache;
- brushes;
- scissors;
- white office paper A4. which first needs to be cut into small squares, I don’t remember exactly how many sheets I used, but definitely more than 20;
- ball (regular pear-shaped, the larger the ball, the larger the kinder you will get);
- a printout of the inscription “Kinder surprise”, which I first colored with pencils, and later it seemed to me that the inscription was pale and I colored it with gouache, you can print it on a color printer, it will be even better (I found the inscription on the Internet).
Making the egg preparation (papier mache):
- Inflate the ball to the size you want to make Kinder, tie it with a thread with a long end, put the ball on some kind of stand (I used a plastic cup);
- Pour cool water into a plate and dip our white leaves (pre-cut into squares) in the water.
- Glue the wet leaves onto the ball in one layer (without glue!);
- Turn the egg over and glue all the leaves with water, while the thread with the tip of the ball should be outward, there is no need to glue them;
- Then we dilute the PVA glue with a little water, literally a little bit (more if you add an egg, it will take a long time to dry, as it did for me, it took 2 days to dry);
- We continue to glue the leaves with PVA glue, this will be the second layer, and do not forget to pull out the thread and the tip of the ball where you tied it - there is no need to glue them, they should stick out;
- Now let the egg dry, because... I removed the heat to the balcony, did it in the evening, the egg stood overnight and I continued working, although you don’t have to wait so long and apply the 3rd layer on top of the wet second. Why did I dry it? the fact is that when I tried to apply the 3rd layer of leaves on the fresh second layer, the leaves began to fly off from the second layer, but everything held tightly to the dry one;
- On the second layer we apply the third layer of leaves using PVA glue. You can, of course, do without the third layer, but I wanted to make the egg stronger, otherwise my kids would quickly render it unusable);
- And again I put the egg out on the balcony to dry, this time for good.
- When the egg was dry (I checked this by tapping on it, it should make a characteristic sound, and there should be no dents with light pressure), I pierced the balloon with a needle in the place where the balloon was tied, while holding the thread, and then slowly pulled out the rest of the balloon, and I sealed the hole on the top with paper and PVA glue and again let the ball dry;
- Next, I set about decorating the Kinder Surprise egg.
- First, we cut out our printed, pre-colored (must be dry) inscription “Kinder Surprise”, it is not necessary to cut it out letter by letter, you can cut out the entire inscription “Kinder” and separately the entire “Surprise”, and then a blue rectangle with the inscription “milk-cocoa”;
- We try on our inscriptions and, with a simple pencil, outline where we will draw the orange “Skirt” of the egg;
- We draw a “skirt” with a simple pencil (you can take a real kinder egg and draw from it or look it up on the Internet) and draw a drop on the skirt, then take orange paint (I didn’t have that, I mixed red and yellow) and carefully trace the outline of the skirt and a drop (we leave the drop white, there is no need to paint over it), paint over the skirt;
Then I made a mistake, my hand trembled and I drew a drop crookedly, then straightened it with white paint. - Leave the paint on the egg to dry;
- Once everything is dry, glue our Kinder Surprise inscription with PVA glue (again, look at a real egg and glue according to the model);
- And at the end, I sprayed the egg with hairspray, which fixed the dye (it doesn’t smear your hands when you hold the egg and the egg began to shine).
Egg decoration:
The whole egg is ready!
We remove the egg from the stand, and now we can safely touch it and fill it with sweets or other gifts. But how to fill it? there is no hole! It can be easily cut in any place convenient for you. cut the egg very carefully with a stationery knife; you can first mark the place of the cut with a pencil.
To surprise your baby for any holiday, you need to turn on your imagination ☺️. An original option would be to present a gift in a very large Kinder Surprise egg, made with your own hands. This craft is empty inside and you can put various sweets or a toy in it ✨️.
Homemade kinder surprise made from paper
✔️ In this version, the egg is made from a ball that needs to be covered with paper. For gluing, you can use PVA glue or prepare a homemade paste.
To prepare the paste, you need
:
- Mix 1 tbsp. l. corn starch and 2 tbsp. l. tap water.
- To stir thoroughly.
- Take half a glass of boiling water and pour it over the mixture.
- Stir and put the mixture on fire.
- Stir continuously until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir a little more.
- Refrigerate before use.
You can first add water to PVA glue.
To make a huge egg you will need
:
- printed inscription;
- water;
- balloon;
- A4 paper;
- newspaper;
- PVA glue;
- paints (gouache);
- water;
- to prepare the paste, starch or flour;
- brush.
Steps to make an egg
:
- The balloon is inflated to the required size and tied with thread so that it can be untied later.
- To make it more convenient to work with the ball, it must be placed in some container.
- Apply the first layer, which consists of water and paper. The paper is cut into small squares. Then dip each square in water and place it on the ball. This is how the entire surface is covered. All actions must be carried out at a fast pace, as the water dries quickly and the sheets of paper will begin to fall off. Instead of paper, you can use newspapers. Then the ball is covered with white paper last.
- After the entire ball is covered, you need to let it stand for 5 minutes to dry.
- The next layer consists of glue or homemade paste and paper. The ball is generously coated with adhesive and a second layer of paper is glued on. In order for the paper to be well saturated, you need a lot of glue or paste.
- Next, the future egg is also generously coated with glue and a third layer of paper is glued on.
- Leave the egg overnight to dry completely. It is best to dry near the radiator.
- After the paper has completely dried, the stage of removing the ball begins. To do this, the tail is untied or cut off, and then the ball is carefully removed. The resulting hole must be sealed.
- The next day, three layers are glued again and dried again.
- Then you should paint the egg: to do this, draw a wavy line on the lower part with a simple pencil, and then paint it with red gouache. The upper part is painted white gouache. Instead of gouache, you can use acrylic paints or water-based emulsion. It is worth adding PVA glue to gouache paints, then the paint will not crack or stick to your hands while it dries.
- Next step: make an inscription. You can print it on a color printer or draw the letters yourself and color them. In your own performance it will look more real. You can attach a piece of paper to the monitor and trace the letters. Then cut each word and glue it individually.
- Next, a “door” is made in the egg. Its shape can be square or round. Cut with a stationery knife. Inside is filled with a gift.
You can write the child's name on the egg or stick your favorite cartoon characters on it, or you can make it in the form of a smiley face or mmdms. By applying varnish the surface can be made glossy.
Huge egg made of plaster and paper
This version of the egg will be stronger and smoother.
To create a kinder you will need
:
- printed inscription;
- water;
- balloon;
- A4 paper;
- newspaper;
- PVA glue;
- paints (acrylic);
- water;
- to prepare the paste - starch or flour;
- brush;
- gypsum;
- sandpaper;
- for a magnetic door: magnet, cardboard;
- putty or self-hardening clay.
Manufacturing steps
:
- The balloon is also inflated, covered with paper and dried. The description is given in the previous method. Pasted in three layers.
- After the workpiece has completely dried, the balloon bursts and is removed through the hole. The hole is sealed.
- Next comes the priming stage. For this, putty or plaster is used. The layer should be applied evenly.
- After the putty or plaster has completely dried, the stage of making a hole in order to put the gifts is carried out. The hole will be a door that can be removed. A stationery knife is used to cut it out.
- To make it possible to remove the door, a magnet is glued into it, and the top is sealed with paper in several layers. Cardboard is glued into the base, then a magnet is placed, and paper is placed on top. Gluing is done using PVA glue.
- The egg and door are sanded with coarse sandpaper. This gives the egg perfect smoothness.
- After sanding, pits and depressions appear on the egg. In those places where they are deeper, plaster is re-applied, time is waited for drying and sanded with fine-grain sandpaper.
- Next is the painting stage. Waves are painted in the lower part with red acrylic paint, and the upper part is painted white. Then the inscription is printed on a color printer, each letter is cut out and pasted onto the “kinder”. It is also possible to write letters with a simple pencil and paint them with colored acrylic paints.
✔️ This gift, created with our own efforts, is suitable for any holiday ✨️ . It will be original and unusual. Not a single child will remain indifferent to him. Any gift can be placed inside such an egg: sweets, toys, etc. This egg with a gift can also be presented to an adult.
We create a big Kinder surprise out of paper with our own hands
To work you will need brushes, paints, water, a lot of newspapers and white A4 paper, a bowl, stencils with letters or a printout with the inscription “Kinder Surprise”. You also need PVA glue (you can use paste instead of glue, but it is inconvenient to cook and it is more difficult to work with). A large balloon will also come in handy.
It should be strong and elastic; a helium balloon works well.
We will work using the papier-mâché technique, so you should prepare your workplace by covering it with newspapers or oilcloth. Stages of work.
- Inflate the balloon to the size you want to make the kinder. Tie the ponytail tightly. If you tie it too tightly, you will have to pierce the ball at the end of the work.
- We tear the paper into pieces, and after dipping it a little in water, apply it to the ball. Cover the entire first layer evenly so that there are no empty spaces left. At this stage, it is better to use regular newspapers - they are softer to work with and will not peel off immediately.
- Now take a brush and dip it in glue. We carefully brush over the first layer of paper, thoroughly coating all areas. It is worth noting that it is best to choose a brush made of artificial fibers, soft enough, but elastic - this will pick up glue well, but will not tear wet paper.
- Now we again apply pieces of paper, now white, to the surface of the ball.
- We repeat the steps described above 3-4 times. Not worth it anymore. If you heavily saturate the paper with glue, it will take a long time to dry. And when it dries, it can warp and become ugly.
- We leave our workpiece to dry for the day. To do this, you can hang it by a string from a ball. We carefully check with our hands whether the outer layer of glue is dry. You should cover it with paper so that there is a small gap at the tail of the ball, so that later you can lower the ball and take it out.
- These steps can be repeated 3-4 times. So you can make a large kinder with your own hands.
- When a sufficient number of layers have been applied, carefully untie the ball and remove it from the workpiece. Repeat the steps again to seal the hole.
- Let's start sanding. This stage can be omitted, but if you smooth out all the corners, the kinder will be just like a real one - even and smooth.
- We take the finest sandpaper and carefully work the entire surface of the toy in a circular motion. This should be done without strong pressure, so as not to tear many layers of paper. We repeat just enough to erase the existing transitions between the sheets of paper.
- Using a cloth, we wipe the dust formed during sanding from the workpiece, and cover our egg with a layer of glue. Let it dry.
- When the glue has dried, we paint our future Kinder Surprise white. For work, you can use gouache paints - they are not harmful to the child. In the lower part (this is the opposite part of the part where the tail of the ball was. It is wider, like in a real egg.) We draw a pattern in red, as in a real toy. You can do this right away with paint, you can use a stencil, or first draw a wavy line with a pencil, and then carefully fill it with color.
- Let's start coloring the inscription. You can take a printed blank. In this case, simply glue it to the workpiece. It will also look good if you cut out the letters from the printout and glue the inscription. If you have a stencil, use it. Trace the letters, forming an inscription, directly on the workpiece, and color them with paints.
- The final stage. Cover the resulting egg with a layer of varnish from a can, so the paints will not flow and will not stain your hands (gouache paints are prone to crumbling and will smear when touched, and watercolors do not provide such a rich and dense covering layer).
- The toy is ready! You don't have to remove the ball, this will allow you to hang the toy. If you get the ball, just put the resulting kinder on the floor.
- To fill the toy with surprises, do not seal the hole from the ball. Instead, make a small cut to put candy or gifts inside, and then seal it.
The master class described in the article is very clear. This craft can be made by an adult, or you can involve a child in making it. It is easy to hide small gifts, sweets, and holiday souvenirs in the resulting toy.
Gift set
The company's assortment also includes a large Kinder Surprise Maxi. What's inside this giant? Here everything looks a little different. The entire souvenir weighs about 220 grams. wrapped in a large piece of foil with a standard design. It is gathered into a knot at the top and resembles a gift bow. There is a paper logo on the front side.
Unwrapping such packaging is a real pleasure. The container inside the egg is secured with an adhesive film, which prevents it from opening spontaneously. After opening it, you can find parts of the toy and a flyer inside, which contains complete visual assembly instructions. Usually toys are fixed on convenient stands. With their help, surprises can be placed on shelves like figurines, rather than put in a bag. In this position, toys are always at hand, which is especially popular with children. Such sets are very popular, but are not always on sale.
All children simply love it when they are given Kinder surprises. What if your child receives a huge “kinder surprise” with many gifts inside?
Make a big kinder surprise with your own hands
It won't be difficult for you.
To do this you need:
- An ordinary balloon
- A 4 size paper,
- PVA glue,
- Water,
- Paints,
- Printout with inscription.
First, inflate the balloon and tie it with thread to make it more convenient.
Now you need to cut or tear the paper into pieces of any size, but not too small.
Each piece of paper needs to be soaked in water and applied to the ball. This must be done quickly, as the paper dries quickly and the paper will begin to peel off.
When the entire ball is covered with paper, you need to let it dry slightly for 5-10 minutes. This technique is called
Now let's move on to the second layer. To do this, coat the ball generously with glue and glue the same pieces of paper. After this, apply the third layer in the same way. Leave to dry overnight.
When our future kinder surprise dries, you will need to remove the balloon from it. To do this, you just need to untie the thread, the ball will deflate, and you can easily pull it out. Cover the remaining hole with paper.
We cut out the printed inscription and glue it to the egg.
And finally, paint the bottom of the Kinder Surprise with red paint.
Here the big kinder is ready. All you have to do is make a cut in the back or top and put the gifts in it.

BIG KINDER SURPRISE WITH YOUR OWN HANDS
Big Kinder Surprise is the dream of every child. I'll tell you how to make a giant Kinder Surprise with your own hands. In fact, it is very simple to make, and the joy from such a kilogram egg will know no bounds. And the most important thing is that you can fill the egg with those toys and sweets that will be of interest to your “kinder”!
So, to make Kinder Surprise with your own hands, we will need regular printer paper, corn starch (potato or flour), paint - gouache, a balloon.
To begin, cut the paper (about 10-12 sheets) into small pieces and prepare a starch paste.
Corn starch is most suitable for making paste. We dilute 1 tbsp. spoon of starch in 2 tbsp. spoons of cold water. Add 0.5 cups of boiling water and put on low heat, stirring all the time until the paste begins to thicken. Stir and let the glue cool.
We inflate a balloon, which we will cover with layers of paper, i.e. Let's make a papier-mâché egg.
We do the first layer like this: we simply dip pieces of paper into water and apply them to the ball with a slight overlap. Now, with a wide brush, or better yet, with your hands, we pick up the paste and lubricate our first layer well, smoothing out the wrinkles.
Second and third layer: we don’t need water anymore, take one piece of paper, apply it to the ball, smear it with glue, apply the next one, smear it, etc.
In total, we have 3 layers of paper. We leave it to dry until the morning, hanging the ball by a thread where the child cannot see)).
The next day we begin registration. We draw waves with a pencil and paint the lower part of the Kinder Surprise with red paint.
The top part of Kinder Surprise is painted with white paint.
Now all that remains is to make the inscription. I am posting color and black and white for you, if you don’t have a color printer, you can color it. Adjust the size.
The inscription needs to be cut out, each word separately. This way it will stick better and will not bulge.
Now remove the ball. It must be carefully pierced, holding the puncture site and gradually deflating.
Now you need to make a couple of cuts at the top (where the tail of the balloon was) and, into the resulting hole, load the actual surprise: sweets and toys.
Cover the hole with pieces of paper in the same way as we did earlier. Use PVA glue. Now you need to paint this patch white and wait until it dries.
The huge Kinder Surprise is ready. Together with the contents, I got a kilogram egg. Here is a photo to compare the sizes of the original and our homemade Kinder Surprise:
I think the child will be delighted with such a gift!
Chocolate Kinder Surprise eggs are a favorite treat for most children. But a handmade gift is much better, because it is unique and made especially for the baby. A large kinder surprise can be filled with your child’s favorite sweets and other pleasant little things. To prepare such a surprise, you will need simple materials and tools, a little patience and imagination.

Sweet bouquet
Of course, you don't have to fuss with an egg to give your girlfriend a nice gift. You can put together a sweet bouquet of kinder surprises for her with your own hands. Even the most incompetent can do this task.
For it you will need:
- an odd number of Kinder surprises;
- transparent tape;
- film;
- wire;
- glue;
- scissors;
- wire cutters;
- organza of different colors;
- decorative tape.
Wrap each egg with tape about one-third of the way. Then fix the film around the circumference where it is not. Prepare a wire of the required length (about 25-30 cm). Roll one end into a spiral to make it easy to attach the Kinder Surprise. Attach to the egg and secure with a drop of glue. Wrap the film around the wire. Then secure it using tape. Make all the other “flowers” in this way.
Now all that remains is to collect them into a bouquet. If desired, you can wrap each kinder in organza. Add flowers, leaves and other decorative elements to the bouquet. Put it all together. Wrap brightly colored organza to create a bouquet and secure with decorative ribbon. Use scissors to create curls. Now you can give a bouquet to a girl.
Kinder surprise made of papier-mâché
A papier-mâché egg is an original gift wrapping. You can put any filling inside: from sweets to toys. The size and thickness of the walls of the egg will depend on the size of the gift, so you need to immediately decide what will be inside.
To create an egg you will need:
- thin newsprint or napkins;
- PVA glue;
- balloon;
- brushes and paints;
- scissors;
- strong threads;
- deep bowl;
- water;
- printouts or pictures for decoration.
To get an egg that looks like a factory one, you need to select a picture with a branded inscription. But it is much more pleasant to receive not a simple gift, but an individual, personalized one. The child’s name can be pasted next to the company inscription, and a postcard signed on behalf of the creators of the Kinder Surprise can be placed inside the egg. The baby will be pleased to know that such a huge egg was prepared especially for him.
You can make a personal inscription in any text or graphics editor, choosing the appropriate size and font. It is better to print pictures on glossy paper - it is brighter and more colorful.
Pictures for printing with the inscription Kinder Surprise can also be downloaded on our website (images can be enlarged by clicking).
In modern stores you can buy ready-made papier-mâché, but it is easy to prepare it yourself. Cooking steps:
- Dilute PVA with water in a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2. Papier-mâché glue should be similar in consistency to milk. Too liquid will not be sticky enough, too viscous will make the mixture thick.
- Finely tear the paper and place it in a thin layer on the bottom of the bowl. Pour glue so that it covers all the paper.
- Place the next layer of paper on top and fill it with glue, making sure that there are no dry gaps.
- Repeat until the plate is filled with the paper-glue mixture.
- Lightly press the mixture with your hands to compact it and expel any air bubbles. Pour a thin layer of glue on top.
- Place the plate with the mixture in a cool place overnight.
- In the morning, check the readiness of the mixture by stirring it with a spoon. The paper should soften, making the mixture homogeneous.
- If there are thick lumps or dry pieces of paper left in the mixture, you need to add glue and leave it for another night.
The prepared mass for papier-mâché can be used within 2-3 days. If it starts to dry out, you need to add glue and mix until smooth.
Now you can move on to creating a kinder surprise:
- Inflate the balloon and tie it tightly with thread. The ball should be egg-shaped: round, slightly elongated.
- Place the ball in a bowl to make it easier to apply the mixture.
- Cut dry paper into strips, moisten it with water and cover the surface of the ball. This must be done quickly, otherwise the water will dry out and the paper will peel off. To prevent this from happening, the glued strips should be lightly sprayed with water while working.
- The ball must be completely covered with paper. The strips should be glued overlapping, and additional pieces of paper should be glued to the joints on top of the main layer.
- Start applying papier-mâché to the damp paper. Move from top to bottom, applying the mixture in small portions and spreading in a thin layer.
- You need to cover the entire ball with the mixture, leaving only the tail outside. Leave the egg overnight so that the glue dries and the papier-mâché becomes strong. You cannot remove the ball from the bowl - the mass may flow down.
- The papier-mâché on the top of the ball will dry out faster, so after 2-3 hours the ball needs to be turned over. This way the mixture will dry evenly. The process will speed up if you place the ball next to a battery or other heat source.
- When the papier-mâché is completely dry, you can apply another layer on top for strength. Before applying, moisten the bottom layer with glue, otherwise the top layer will fall off.
- The finished egg can be treated with sandpaper - its surface will become perfectly smooth. But if the wrapping paper will be glued on top, you can leave it that way.
- Cut off the tail of the ball to release the air from it. Cover the hole with paper.
- Carefully cut the egg in half or cut a door in it through which you can put a gift.
- Remove any remaining balls from the sides of the egg.
Now you can move on to decorating. The egg must be primed with white paint on all sides. When it dries, color it as you wish or repeat the design from the branded packaging. Wait until the paint is completely dry and stick on the inscriptions. To make the egg look more festive, you can decorate it with rhinestones, stickers, and ribbon bows.
You need to put a surprise inside the finished egg, connect the halves (or put the door in place) and carefully glue them with tape. Decorate the gluing area with a beautiful ribbon.

Kinder and chocolate cake
It’s easy to make a cake from kinders and chocolates with your own hands at home. Follow the following recommendations before starting a master class on creating this product from the world of suite design.
- Before starting work, carefully study the photographs of the finished models and think about what your dream sweet cake should look like.
- Depending on your idea, purchase all the necessary supplies;
- Since sweets contain perishable products, store chocolates and eggs in the refrigerator before starting work;
- The child receiving such an unusual gift must be over 2 years old, otherwise there is a risk that the baby will choke on small parts of the toys.
- Glue all decorative elements very carefully so as not to violate the integrity of the composition.
Detailed instructions will help every adult make a pleasant surprise for children. You can also make a romantic kinder cake for your other half on Valentine's Day or any other holiday.
Master class with step-by-step instructions
Let's figure out how to make a kinder cake with your own hands; step-by-step photos of each stage will greatly facilitate your work and improve its quality.
- First, choose what material you will use to make the frame of the product.
If you prefer foam, then cut two or three cylindrical pieces of different diameters from it. The height of the cylinders should correspond to the length of each kinder chocolate.
If you decide to work with paper, place all the chocolates (or each of the two groups, if the cake is two-tiered) in a row on a piece of cardboard, and mark on it a rectangular part of the desired length and width. Step back 2 cm from the resulting outline and draw another rectangle.
On the longer sides of the shape, draw triangular-shaped teeth. For the first tier you need to draw teeth at the top and bottom, for the second - only at the bottom of the rectangle.
Large kinder surprise made of plaster
This egg has a special advantage - it is very durable. After unpacking the gift, the child will be able to use it as a box or house for toys.
To prepare this kinder surprise you will need:
- dry gypsum mixture;
- water;
- paper;
- glue;
- spatula or spoon;
- small handsaw or long paper cutter;
- balloon;
- 4 craft magnets;
- gloves;
- sandpaper,
- gouache or acrylic paints, inscriptions and pictures for decoration.
The balloon must be inflated to a suitable size and tied with strong thread. Tear the paper into small pieces, soak it in glue and cover the ball in 2-3 layers. After each layer, you need to wait until the glue is completely dry, and only then apply the next one. When the top layer is dry, use a knife to cut a small hole, pierce the ball and pull out the pieces. Cover the hole with paper to prevent the plaster mixture from getting inside.
The gypsum mixture must be prepared following the instructions indicated on the package. It is important to strictly observe the proportions of the dry mixture and water, otherwise the solution will turn out to be too liquid or too viscous. The solution hardens instantly, so you need to act quickly: apply it to the egg in a thin layer and smooth it out. You need to wear gloves when working: the gypsum mixture sticks to your hands.
When the plaster is dry, you can proceed to processing the egg:
- Using sandpaper, use gentle circular movements to sand the surface of the egg until smooth.
- Cut or saw the egg. It is more convenient to make a cross-section, closer to the narrow side of the egg. You will get 2 parts: a deep container and a lid.
- Glue 2 magnets inside the egg next to the cut, placing them one opposite the other. Glue 2 more magnets to the lid, placing them opposite the magnets in the egg.
- Cover the magnets with paper.
- Paint the egg, stick on inscriptions and pictures.
Watch a video showing the process of making a large egg from a ball and plaster:
Now all that remains is to put the gift inside - and you can give the egg to the baby. To make the surprise even more unexpected, the egg can be hidden in a box or opaque bag.
How to make a kinder surprise from chocolate?
Another option for a homemade surprise is a large chocolate egg. Such a gift is not only interesting, but also very tasty. And if you put sweets or small toys inside the egg, it will become just like store-bought, only much better.
To prepare the egg you will need:
- 10-15 bars of dark chocolate
- 10 white chocolate bars;
- cream injector;
- filling mold or balloon;
- a pair of rubber gloves;
- deep plate, spoon.
You need to decide what will be used for filling - a special silicone or plastic mold, consisting of two halves, or a ball. Of course, it’s easier to work with a ready-made form. But to find it, you will have to go shopping or order it online. The ball is a cheap and accessible replacement, but working with it will require care.
The egg will harden in the refrigerator, this must be taken into account: if the surprise turns out to be too large, it may not fit between the shelves.
Cooking an egg in a mold
First you need to prepare the chocolate mass. To do this you should:
- Break the dark chocolate bars into small pieces, place them in a deep bowl and place it in a water bath.
- Stir with a spoon or spatula until the chocolate has completely melted. The mass must be removed from the heat and allowed to cool to room temperature. It should be viscous and homogeneous.
- Fill the syringe with cooled chocolate and apply the chocolate evenly to the walls of the mold.
- Place the mold in the refrigerator for 1-1.5 hours.
- While the chocolate in the mold is cooling, melt the white chocolate.
- Remove the mold, fill the syringe with white chocolate and cover the sides of the egg with a second layer. You should try to touch the mold with your hands as little as possible so that the chocolate does not melt from their heat. Be sure to use gloves.
- Place in the refrigerator again for 1 hour.
- The finished egg ladles need to be removed from the mold and a surprise placed in one half. Wash toys and other inedible gifts first with soap and water and rinse with clean water.
- Heat a spoon in hot water and run the back side along the edge of the egg halves, connecting them.
- Use the remaining dark chocolate to coat the joint area so that the halves stick together.
The egg is ready. To achieve complete resemblance to a factory Kinder Surprise, you should wrap it. For this you will need foil. From it you need to cut two pieces in the shape of an egg, adding 10 cm to them from the edges. Place the egg on one piece and fold the edges. Place the second one on top and press lightly. Stick the inscription “Kinder Surprise” on top, and the sweet gift is ready.
Cooking an egg using a ball
To cook an egg you will need a durable ball without patterns. It needs to be washed and dried from the inside (this can be done conveniently with a hair dryer). Prepare the chocolate mass and start creating the egg:
- Remove the tip from the syringe and pull the ball onto it. Pull out the plunger and inflate the balloon to the desired size.
- Using a spoon, pour the chocolate into the ball.
- The filled ball must be carefully tied and rotated until the chocolate is distributed evenly over the walls.
- The ball should be placed on a plate with its tail facing up.
- Prepare white chocolate.
- When the ball hardens, remove the workpiece.
- Cut off the top, remove the ball, being careful not to damage the walls of the egg.
- Distribute white chocolate along the walls, making sure to spread the top as well.
- Place in the refrigerator again.
- Place a gift into the finished egg, connect and seal the halves.
- Pack the kinder surprise as in the first preparation option, or come up with your own packaging option.

DIY chocolate kinder: master class
It’s easy to make a kinder surprise out of paper using the papier-mâché technique. Alas, such an egg is inedible. However, you can make a large chocolate kinder with your own hands. A master class on making a surprise from chocolate is a little more complicated than from paper, but the result is worth a little effort. To work you will need:
- A special form that can be purchased at a soap maker's store or in the craft department. It consists of 2 halves.
- Good quality dark and white chocolate. The amount of chocolate depends on the size of the mold.
- At least 5-6 flat silicone brushes.
The manufacturing process is as follows:
- Melt dark chocolate in a double boiler.
- Pour a small amount of chocolate onto one of the halves of the mold and carefully spread it with a brush from the center to the edges.
- Fill out the second half of the form using the same principle. The chocolate should be distributed as evenly as possible. Since it starts to harden very quickly, you need to have several clean brushes on hand.
- While the first layer of chocolate hardens, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler.
- The second layer is applied in the same way as the first: with gentle movements from the center to the edges evenly throughout the entire form.
- After the chocolate has hardened a little, the egg halves can be released from the mold and left for 10-15 minutes until completely hardened.
- The Kinder halves are ready, all that remains is to put inside the gift that the child will like, after covering the walls of the chocolate surprise with a soft napkin or multi-colored paper.
- Then the halves are connected. To do this, heat the blade of a knife over a fire, run it along the edge of each half and quickly connect them, while being careful, without pressing, so as not to break the fragile chocolate walls.
- The final touch is the packaging. Here everything depends on the imagination of the master. You can use foil, paper or other material.
No child will remain indifferent to such an original gift.
So, getting a big kinder surprise is every child’s dream. Adults can make this dream come true with their own hands by making an egg from paper or chocolate and placing a gift inside that the child will definitely like. By spending a little time and effort, you can give your baby a lot of positive emotions.
