3Color the eggs.
Color or paint the eggs.
4Try other decorating ideas.
Try some fun ways to color and decorate the plain eggs. These ideas are really easy to do especially with young kids.
Use your fingers or some cotton buds - paint dots, zigzags and lines on the eggs using your fingers or the tip of a cotton bud.
Try some sponge brushes - use sponge brushes and roller brushes to paint the eggs. It is a good idea to cut out the eggs first before painting them.
Roll up some crepe paper - make "crayons" out of crepe paper by cutting 2" wide strips and rolling each strip tightly like a cigar. Wet the tip of each rolled crepe paper and dab onto the eggs.
Glue some decorations - after coloring or painting the eggs, add some accents by putting stickers or gluing paper or foam shapes, buttons, ribbons, small pompoms and other fun notions.
