Easter is coming, a perfect time to enjoy the family and spend quality time together. One of the most amusing traditions is to decorate Easter eggs during the holidays. An activity where the children will unleash their creativity while all the family enjoy time with one another!

We propose three ideas to decorate the Eggs and celebrate Easter most amusingly. Although, as we always say, you can give free rein to your imagination to make your own creations with different materials and techniques.

Here are all the materials we have used:
