Sticker Easter Eggs

Sticker Easter EggsDeck your eggs with cheery Easter stickers. This is an Easter Egg decorating project any kid can do. Put out stickers of happy bunnies, or have your child simply stick shapes in any pattern she likes onto the egg to create a fun, freehand look!


Wax On Easter Eggs

Before you drop your eggs in a dying ingredient, have the little ones scribble personalized messages, pictures or patterns onto the shells with crayons. The dye will pull away from the wax, giving it a one-of-a-kind motif; we made an egg with a polka-dot pattern, an egg with a striped pattern, and simply scribbled freehand on a few!


Band-It Easter Eggs

Rubber Band Easter EggsBefore coloring your eggs, wrap several rubber bands around the width and/or height of the eggs in varying thicknesses. Once wrapped, color your eggs and allow them to dry completely. Remove the rubber bands and you’ve got some cool Easter eggs! The white stripes left behind after the eggs have dried and the bands have been removed offer a cool modern look to this classic Easter accessory.


Glitter Easter Eggs

Glitter Easter EggsIf you’re brave enough arm the kids with some glue and glitter, then let them bedazzle their Easter eggs! Sparkly and shimmery colors are sure to glamorize any basket.


Brushed Up Easter Eggs

Painted Easter EggsIt’s not all about dye! Gather the family around the table (covered in plastic, of course) and hand everyone a paint brush as well as a melange of pretty spring colours. Give the family a chance to release their inner Picassos.


Taped-Up Easter Eggs

Taped Easter EggsYou can create a range of geometric shapes on an egg with the use of electric or painter’s tape. Cut strips in varying widths to impart a contemporary design on your Easter gems. Give the kids some creativity and let them choose their shapes.


Marbled Easter Eggs

Marbled Easter EggsFuse together two separate colors with this creative trick: submerge the egg in one color until it’s completely dyed and dried. Next, prepare a second dye that is a shade darker and add in one tablespoon of oil; gently swirl the colored egg into the second mixture for a marbleized effect.


Holy Hodge Podge Easter Eggs

Hodge Podge Easter EggsThat art supply that every kid loves is also great for decorating Easter eggs! Use it to apply pictures that have been cut out of magazines or old books, or a colorful tissue paper design. No one will have eggs like these!


Animal Instinct Easter Eggs

Animal Easter EggsTurn plain-colored eggs into whimsical animal characters, from chickens to bunny faces and more. There’s no limit to what you can create from your hardboiled blank canvas—the oblong shape is the perfect starting point for a festive animal egg.
