Paint Splattered Easter Eggs
Amy S.: My two and four year old boys aren’t the sit-down-and-quietly-do-crafts type of kids, but they do love experimenting with paintbrushes and making a mess! So this Easter we’ll be making paint splatter eggs. Probably best to do this one outside… From Squirrelly Minds
Marbled Easter Eggs
This creative Easter egg idea doubles as a fun at home science experiment! You'll use regular oil and vinegar with your dye to create a rainbow of cool Easter egg designs, with each one turning out a little different.
Rubber Band Dyed Easter Eggs
Shila: Use rubber bands while dyeing Easter eggs to incorporate cool white streaks. Wrap a hard-boiled eggshell with one form-fitting rubber band - or use several! A tight rubber band will protect the shell from food dye reaching it. After the dyeing process is over and the shells are dry, remove the rubber bands to reveal these super rad streaks! From First Palette
Watercolor Easter Eggs
Kelly R: Use a spoon to gently pour dye over your eggs to create this cool watercolor design! The more saturated your dye, the more vibrant the eggs will turn out. From Project Kid
Minion Easter Eggs
Kelly R: Kids love Easter egg decorating ideas that call upon their favorite characters, and this one is perfect for Minions fans! Two-tone blue and yellow eggs are customized with goggles (one eye or two!) and funny faces. From A Pumpkin & A Princess
Sharpie Silhouette Easter Eggs
Shila: Skip the dye altogether and try a totally mess-free Easter egg design with Sharpie markers. Press down a sticker before applying dots of color to create a neat silhouette design when peeled off. From Cutesy Crafts
Emoji Easter Eggs
Kelly R: These amazing eggs call for craft paint and a steady hand, and can be customized with any of your kids' favorite emojis so each one is unique! This is a fun craft for teens and tweens looking to get creative with their Easter egg ideas. From Studio DIY
