Many of these Easter egg crafts can be done by kids and preschoolers.
It’s a good idea to be nearby while egg dyeing is being done to help prevent spills or consumption of the dye (by very young children).
Save egg cartons to put dyed eggs in while they dry, and to store hollow decorated eggs. They can also hold eggs while they are being decorated.
Many of the Easter egg crafts that use dyed eggs can also be done with styrofoam or plastic eggs.
