Very simple
Easter is a spring holiday. Christians celebrate it as the day Jesus rose from the dead, and many families also enjoy egg hunts and baskets of treats. Pastel colors are the classic choice: soft pink, lavender, mint, baby blue and pale yellow. Coloring an egg page is a nice warm-up before dyeing real eggs, since kids can plan their designs on paper first and then try to copy them.
For patterned eggs, have kids color one stripe at a time and alternate two or three colors. Cut out finished eggs and hide them around the house for a paper egg hunt that leaves no mess.

- Create pattern practice by asking kids to repeat a sequence such as dot, stripe, dot, stripe across an egg.
Questions parents and teachers ask
Why does the date of Easter change every year?
Easter is set by the moon. In Western churches it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, so it moves between late March and late April.
What colors are best for Easter coloring pages?
Pastels such as pink, lavender, mint green, baby blue and pale yellow give a classic spring look. Bright colors work just as well for kids who prefer bold eggs.
