Quick and Easy Easter Egg Decorating Ideas for Kids and Adults

Egg decorating can be a wonderful and fun family experience, as I’ve found to be true with my own family.

In fact, there’s a number of creative Easter egg decorating projects that can be tweaked for both beginner and advanced crafters. It’s my hope you’ll be inspired to try one (or more).

But, even if you aren’t the crafty type there are still some simple and easy ways to decorate your Easter eggs without much fuss or muss.

So get your hard boiled eggs ready because here are my favorite egg decorating ideas that’ll take your typical Easter egg up a notch (or two):

1. Classic Dyed Eggs

If your family is like mine, you’ve probably used this classic route: PAAS Egg Dye Kit at one time or other for coloring your eggs. Overall, this method works beautifully and offers a variety of ways for you and your kids to create your favorite colors quickly and easily.

2. Natural Egg Dyes

But, if you’d rather not go that route and want to try a more “natural” approach, then you might like a natural dye kit. Many are vegan, GMO-free and gluten-free. You may, however, have to leave your eggs in the dye a bit longer for a bolder, brighter color.

7. Pysanky Wax and Dye Eggs

This egg decorating idea comes from the Ukraine and the Slovic regions where you can create one-of-a kind, wax and dyed eggs. This is a very old process but it’s a similar technique much like the white crayon-dye method you might have done as a child.
