7 DIY Easy Easter Egg Designs for Families

  • Painted Easter Eggs

    Let the kids show off their inner Basquiat by using the paints you already have at home. Whether it’s rainbow or splashes of color, the kids will have fun making these creative (and edible) masterpieces! @ourrobinsnest
  • Food Coloring Easter Eggs

    Food Coloring Easter Eggs

    If you already have food coloring in your pantry, then you have everything you need for bright and colorful Easter eggs. We love this chart to use as a reference point on mixing colors; it is pretty impressive how many colors can be mixed up to create a plate of gorgeous hues. @andiemmitchell
  • Tattoo Eggs

    If you have kid tattoos lying around, you can tat up organic or white eggs in minutes. For these eggs, a drop of food coloring was used to get the pale color, and eggs sat in water for only one to three minutes to achieve the pale color palette. @motherburg
  • Fun Mexican Fiesta Eggs

    These eggs created by Lola Dweck may just be the best Easter egg craft I have seen in years, and they are total #goals for this Latina mama. The best part is that you only need a few supplies that you most likely have in your craft drawer. @lolascocina
  • DIY Natural Dye Eggs

    Did you know red wine makes a pretty darn good-looking Easter egg? And there is plenty of red wine in my kitchen these quarantine days. Other ingredients that make natural dye hues are saffron, coffee (again, lots of this on hand!), spinach (check ✓), onions, beets, and more. We love this tutorial from Wholefoods. @greenifyme
  • Galactic Eggs

    Galactic Eggs

    This is a bit of a rule DIY breaker as it is half DIY and half kit. For these galactic Easter eggs, I used this kit, but in the end, the eggs felt too bright, and my oldest and I were going for a more “realistic” galaxy palette. So we ended up darkening the colors and adding our spin with food dye to our creations. The kit is pretty easy if you would like bright eggs or try this tutorial, which is spot-on for making your out-of-this-world eggs. In the end, we did about 90% DIY so the kit is not necessary only if you would like help with the stars, but we also used our own star stickers and tissue to blot the dye so the eggs looked a bit “cloudy”! @motherburg
  • Sharpie Easter Eggs

    Who doesn’t have a sharpie or a non-permanent marker if you plan to eat your eggs? Have the kids draw up or write inspirational words with pretty bordering. @landhaus_l.i.e.b.e
Every Easter, my family and I dye eggs. It is something they look forward to, and somehow through the years, our egg dying goals become even more creative. What Christmas is to some families, Easter is our jam. The kids and I love a good Easter egg, but the fun part of dying eggs is to use anything from a simple craft tool to what we have in the house. The eggs end up looking like little works of art or a basket of gorgeous whimsical colors. 
We, of course, love a store dye kit, but this year most of us have limited shopping resources available to us since running to a store to pick up an Easter kit is not a super-priority.

The good news is that there is so much we can do with what we have at home, so check out our favorite 7 DIY Easy Easter Egg Designs to do with the kids and get your craft on!

The Language Workshop For Children

<p dir="ltr">After offering both group and private lessons for many years and analyzing the results over time, The Language Workshop for Children, founded in1973, has decided to emphasize private remote lessons at shorter intervals. Our skilled educators will focus their attention exclusively on the unique needs, learning style, and interests of your child. This allows a bond to develop between teacher and student, which has been shown to drastically improve retention. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OUR METHOD </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Developed by the pioneers of language education for children, our programs bring decades of experience to your living room with individualized, active language classes. Each lesson is based on proven methods and materials perfected to capture your child’s attention during the ages when he/she absorbs information the fastest.   </p> <p dir="ltr">While other online language classes rely on videos for passive learning, we deliver interactive, and engaging lessons with native-fluent teachers. In addition, all our teachers are certified in the Thibaut Technique which has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and many other well-respected publications.  </p> <p dir="ltr">Our short one-on-one lessons give kids the chance to focus, hear pronunciation clearly, and practice speaking in their target language. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>THE PROCESS</strong> </p> <p dir="ltr">First, students have a short meeting with our Director Francois Thibaut, in English, with their parent(s) present. Mr. Thibaut will determine the best course of study, including class length and frequency, the right teacher, lesson format and materials (or action games for younger students.) Then the learning begins! Mr. Thibaut will continually check in on your child’s learning to assure they are getting the most of their classes. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>OTHER OFFERINGS </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">We can also help your child prepare for: the French subject tests for SAT, AP & CLEP, the European DELF/DALF, the Canadian TEF and other standardized testing, college entry exams, studying or traveling abroad, cultural changes when moving abroad, and much more! </p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a97d759c-7fff-6e4d-8e93-70e093aa10f1"> </span></p>
