Ask most kids their favorite holiday, and they’ll probably respond with “Christmas,” or “my birthday” (in the cast of my youngest, who thinks her birthday is a holiday). But with our kids, it has always been “Easter.” They love painting Easter eggs. I hear about it for weeks leading up to the day we all sit down to do it.
Since they love Easter so much, I’ve been looking for ways to expand our Easter traditions. So we’ve been adding on new activities like these 20 fun family Easter traditions, and trying out creative crafts like turning an old sock into an Easter bunny.
Recently, I thought it would be cool if we tried out some new ways to decorate eggs. Who says we should just paint them every year? While that’s always fun, there are a lot of ways to spruce up eggs for Easter. In the video below, I share 5 fast, easy, and creative Easter egg decorating crafts which are great for kids and adults!
Video Tutorial:
Ice Cream Cone Egg
Materials:
Egg
Hot glue and glue gun
Cotton
Pipe cleaner
Markers or pens in different colors
Brown paper
Steps:
1. Start by hot gluing a small fluff of cotton to the top of an egg.
2. Wrap some pipe cleaner in a color of your choice around the cotton. Yellow is a good option. You can think of this as whipped cream with a bit of caramel drizzled on top.
3. With your markers or pens, draw “sprinkles” all over the egg in a few different colors.
4. Get some brown construction paper and wrap it into a cone shape. Put the egg on top of it. Alternately, if you actually have ice cream cones on hand, you could just use those.
Bird Egg

Egg
Hot glue and glue gun
Googly eyes
Construction paper
Bows

Steps:
1. Begin by using hot glue to attach the googly eyes to the egg. Cut the construction paper into a beak shape and attach that as well.
2. Next, attach some feathers to the back of the egg to create a large tail.
3. Next, add a bow to the top of the egg as an embellishment. Set the egg inside a cute ornamental cup, and maybe add another bow or any other decorations you would like.
