Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

1. Using Crayons and Paints

Use of crayons is the simplest Easter egg colouring idea; one that your kid can try by himself without much effort. A simple floral design or even lines drawn across will look great. While using crayons, see that you use hard-boiled eggs that are warm but not too hot. This will help in getting a brighter design. This is because the wax will melt as soon as the crayon touches the warm egg and you wouldn’t need to press hard to make the designs dark. Poster paints are also a good option for older children. The final outcome will be neater as well.

2. Egg Smileys

3. Using Rice

Colouring Easter eggs with rice is a new trend. Dye rice with food colour and leave it for about 20-30 minutes. Let the eggs cool completely, after which you can apply glue to it. Roll the eggs on the rice and your pretty Easter eggs are ready.

Leave it for around 10-15 minutes, so that the colour is absorbed in the eggs and cooked as well. Remove the eggs and allow them to cool. Discard the cloth and there you have it, your dainty and unique Easter eggs!
