Easy Crafts for Egg Decorating
There’s no craft more synonymous with Easter than egg decorating. In this first easy crafts series, hands-on activity is not only fun but allows for immense creativity. Here’s what you’ll need and how to do it:
Materials:
- Hard-boiled eggs or blank egg decorating kits
- Food coloring or egg dyes
- Stickers, glitter, and markers
- Egg holders or cups
Instructions:
- Prepare your eggs by hard boiling them and letting them cool, or use a decorating kit if you prefer not to use real eggs.
- Set out bowls of water with different colors of dye. Add a splash of vinegar to help the colors adhere to the eggshells if using natural eggs.
- Carefully dip your eggs into the dye, creating layers of color or unique patterns.
- Once the dye has dried, kids can add stickers, draw with markers, or sprinkle glitter to personalize their eggs.
- Display your colorful creations in a basket or on an egg holder for all to admire!
