Celebrate timeless traditions like decorating Easter eggs with our fun
and rewarding crafts. Make homemade decorations and gifts. Our crafts

Egg DecoratingEgg decoration is a
wonderful tradition and a great way to get everyone in the family
involved. Preparing the egg to be dyed and dying the egg should be done
with adult supervision/help. Before you begin you must:
- Hard-boil the eggs that you are going to dye.
- After letting eggs cool, shake each egg to break the yolk.
- Take one egg and use a small nail to poke a hole in the top and the bottom of the egg.
- Blow gently until the egg is empty.
Please note that our easter kids crafts such as the eggs are delicate and should be handled with care.
Rubber Band EggThe Rubber Band method of dying the egg creates a very unique and beautiful look.

Spotty Dotty EggThis method of dying an egg is fun and easy. To make this crafts easier, be sure your egg and egg dye are cooled.
For this craft you will need:
- A Hard-boiled egg
- Egg dye
- Stickers (paper reinforcements work best)
- Pasta tongs (optional)
1. Cover the egg with the stickers. 2.
Dip the egg in the egg dye. You may wish to use pasta tongs to dip the
egg in the dye. Remove when the color is bright enough. 3. Let the egg dry. 4. Remove the stickers.
We
suggest that instead of removing all the stickers (step 4), only remove
some of the sticker and then dye the egg in another color. Therefore,
not all your spots will be white.
