Decorating eggs is an old spring tradition in many countries. In Ukraine, people make pysanky by drawing on eggs with wax and dye. While your child colors, talk about patterns: stripes, polka dots and zigzags. Pastel pink, yellow, mint and lavender are classic Easter shades, but bright colors look great too. Kids can design one egg for each family member.
For eggs with small patterns, try fine-tip markers or sharp colored pencils. A light coat of glue and glitter on one stripe adds a festive touch. Younger kids can color each stripe a single color, while older kids can mix two colors per band.
