Easter Egg Decorating

In our house decorating Easter eggs is a treat! My kids love to pick out the different colors, and decorate with crayons and stickers. This year I think we will try some new techniques. I found some fun things to try with them. Check out these cool eggs!

Family Fun Magazine had some cool ideas:

Leaf Print Eggs

This was created with a picture from a magazine!

String Art Egg

Here are some more ideas from DLTK Website:

This is created by pressing a crayon on a hot egg.

How about a personalized egg?

Natural Dyes you might try

Red/Pink: Fresh beets, canned cherries or frozen, crushed cranberries (not cranberry sauce or jelly)

Orange: yellow onion skins

Light Yellow: lemon peels, orange peels or ground cumin

Golden yellow: Ground Tumeric (a kind of spice)

Blue: Red cabbage leaves or blueberries (crushed)

Purple: Grape juice

Whatever method you choose, take time to spend with your family this Easter. Do not get too tied up to spend time with those you love!

Happy Easter!
