DIY Temporary Tattoo Easter Eggs

DIY | Watercolour Easter Eggs

I can’t get enough of watercolours. They are my absolute favourite medium to work with because of how the colours mix and play together. Go ahead, get your paint brush nice and wet, add paint to paper, then add another paint colour and see how it whirls around. So neat and fun! So I wanted to do this with easter eggs, cause why not?

I’m always on the lookout for egg decorating ideas that are more fun and less mess, and easy enough for young kids to do without much help. This year we made tissue paper eggs, and I think this might be the best way to dye eggs with kids ever!

Whipped Cream Dyed Easter Eggs

A tastier alternative to the popular Shaving Cream Easter Eggs, these Whipped Cream Easter Eggs are a more sensible and edible way to dye your eggs this year. Just four ingredients, one of them being hard boiled eggs, and you have a less messy way to dye your Easter Eggs with Whipped Cream.
