Whether you need to prepare an entry for the Egg Decorating competition, Easter Bonnet parade or you’re simply looking for ways to entertain the kids our tried and tested ideas may come in handy!! Whilst anything crafty fills me with fear they are great fun to do with the kids and they can be as simple or complicated as you like!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Egg
Super Simple eggs for any TMNT fan out there. Either add green food colouring to the water for boiling or paint the eggs green and add coloured paper or felt strips and googly eyes!
Snorkelling Egg
This idea is super simple. Paint on the costume/trunks. Add a milk bottle top as the goggles and a straw for the snorkel!
Bird Egg
Cover the eggs with different coloured tissue paper, if you have feathers use for “hair” or shredded paper can also be used. Felt or coloured paper for the beak and eyes can be stuck or drawn on.
Paste Eggs
Bring water with brown and red onion skins to the boil.
Once boiling, add eggs and boil until the shells are brown (will be longer than the normal 10 mins hard boiling time)
Rub with oil to make them shiny once they are nearly cold.
If you would like them patterned like the photo – draw on them with light coloured wax crayon, before boiling.
Rugby Team
One for the sports lovers out there! Cut out your shirt shapes and add the design of your favourite teams. Draw faces on the players and position on either astroturf or grass inside a box. The box can then be decorated with posts and flags and maybe even a crowd! This can also be adjusted to football or hockey!
Humpty Dumpty
Let the kids use their imagination with this one, they can raid the recycling to find accessories!
Easter Bunny
A great one for an Easter theme, use pink tissue paper to cover the body, cotton wool for the legs and tail and a biro for the eyes and nose! Minimal parent involvement needed!
Emoji eggs
How can you pick your favourite emoji? Well with this one you don’t have to! For emoji eggs, all you need is yellow & white paint (or use food colouring) and felt pens!
Heres a few ideas, some need more parental involvement than others!
