12 Fun Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs With Toddlers

Inside: Fun ways to decorate Easter eggs with toddlers and small children.

Spring is finally here and Easter is just around the corner! And I don’t know about your kids, but my son has been obsessed with eggs ever since those surprise kinder eggs hit YouTube. So I knew it was time to get on the egg bandwagon and start gathering up fun ways to decorate eggs with the kids for Easter.

There are so many ways to go about decorating eggs, but I wanted to go dye-free considering that decorating anything with toddlers or preschoolers is bound to get messy…(unless you have some of these to use!). I figure I’ll try to keep it simple, yet still fun this year.

Includes easy ideas from water colors and tie-dye to dye-free options like play dough, melted crayons and glitter!I’ve rounded up some really cool (and mostly, dye-free) ways little kids can decorate eggs with you.

From play dough and finger paint to melted crayons and glitter this list is sure to get your kids excited about Easter!

1. Washable Paints

I love how Allison from No Time for Flashcards makes it easy for kids to color eggs in a plastic bag! Just squeeze in some washable paints with the egg and shake up for little-to-no clean-up for parents!

2. Liquid Water Color Eggs

If you’re not afraid of a little mess, see how Mess for Less creates beautiful colored eggs using liquid water colors. Perfect for little ones who enjoy using droppers to practice fine-motor skills.

    These are all awesome ideas! I would love to try the melted crayons. Last year, I used natural vegetable dyes with my kids.

    These are great ideas especially the glitter! Who doesn’t need some glam on Easter. Another way to dye eggs is the wrap the eggs in a cloth napkin with flowers, like roses and dandelions. Then boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Unwrap the cooled eggs to reveal the flower dyed eggs!
