We all love having the Easter egg, especially when you have some excellent painted and decorated ones right in front of you. Easter eggs take the Easter celebrations to a different level. After a long lent season, it is time to let go of your fun elements and try out some entertaining and creative ways to dye easter eggs! It is not only easy but is also a fun pastime for all the kids in the house. If you, being a parent, are worried about what designs would be the best, then here are some easter egg coloring ideas which are pretty basic and will let you get started with the season of joy the right way.

1.   Tissue Paper Egg Decoration

You can create some fun designs on tissue paper and stick them to the egg in a decorative manner to get a wonderfully decorated easter egg with minimal effort. 

What you need:

• • Some eggs
  • Watercolor
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Tissue paper

Directions:

1. 1. Take an egg, color it with your desired watercolor all over, and then leave it to dry. 
   2. While the egg is drying out, take out a tissue paper and start cutting various patterns on it. You can include flower patterns or different other patterns such as basic zigzags or even edgy patterns.
   3. Take glue in a small bowl and add in a bit of water to it to make a running consistency, and then apply it over the egg
   4. Apply the cut-outs carefully over the egg one at a time and decorate the egg by using your ideas. 

Tips:

Starting with one cut-out piece will make it easier than adding in more extensive sections all at once.

2.   Dyeing Eggs With Rice

Using plain rice, you can now create an excellent design over the eggs with just three materials, and that too something that you can find easily at your homes. 

What you need:

• • Some eggs
  • Plastic cups
  • Food coloring or watercolors
  • Dry rice

Directions you need to follow:

1. 1. Take a small plastic cup and fill in at least one-third of the cup with rice. 
   2. Add in 10 to 15 drops of food coloring into the rice taken in the plastic cup and mix it well
   3. Now add the egg to the cup and shake everything with your hands placed over the cup.

That’s it! Now you can get easy rice-dyed eggs with just some shaking and mixing. 

Tips:

Use a variety of colors to get a beautiful mix of colored eggs. You can take the different colored rice in various plastic cups to avoid mixing colors.
