For the first time this year all three of my children made decorated eggs for school, I was amazed we managed to transport them yesterday without an accident, as managing 2 school bags, lunches, drinking bottles, a pushchair and THREE lots of eggs was quite a task.
It was definitely worth it however, as all three got a prize!
We used the tissue paper technique from Red Ted Art where you cover the egg in bits of tissue paper. We used small bits rather than bigger sheets, but I think Maggy’s way would look neater.
Here are 5 of our favourite and easy decorated eggs, the final three were this year’s competition entries.
Easy Decorated Eggs for Easter
Easter Chicks
These are made with bits of tissue paper and PVA glue which we left to dry and then decorated.
Cress in an egg
This little guy needed a bit of prep time as we had to let the cress grow, but he was very simple to make.
Darth Vader and Darth Maul
These are just painted and decorated eggs made to look like Star Wars characters.
Rabbit patch
The eggs around the side were kindly sent to use by Yellow Moon. These were also made with tissue paper and PVA glue.
Eggy Caterpillar
Or how about these cute Lost and Found eggs?
What do you think?
Update:
These are 2018’s entries, what do you think? We have Emoji eggs and a Bunny Minion Egg!
Did you make any eggs this year?
brilliant eggs. I love the tissue paper idea. We often make the egg box chicken egg cups from Red Ted Art. They work out great too. x
Oooh, i’ll have to check those out!
They are amazing! Love the caterpillar best.
Thank you, we were very pleased with how they all turned out.
I so need to make the Darth Vader one – how cool is that?! That’s like a nerd’s easter dream!
Ha ha, yes Z LOVED it!
ooh how do you do the cress one?
These look great. This is next on our easter bucket list.
Love those. Especially Darth Vader. We made Angry Birds and a piggy x
