16 Easter Egg Coloring Pages
Decorating eggs in spring is older than Easter itself. People in ancient Persia painted eggs for Nowruz, the spring new year, and Ukrainian pysanky eggs are covered in detailed wax-resist patterns. This collection puts the egg center stage in playful scenes. An egg floats on a balloon string, sits on a fence post, perches on a tall grass stalk, hides under a mushroom and wears a bow. Some pages stack three or five eggs into a tower, another balances them in a nest, and one egg has a chick peeking out. A butterfly lands on another. There is also a decorated egg covered in bands of pattern, an egg basket and two smiling cartoon eggs. Coloring tip: plan a pattern before you start. Zigzags, dots and stripes running around the egg look especially nice when each band gets its own color. Many pages are tall and stacked, so kids can tackle one egg at a time. Big single eggs suit preschoolers, and the decorated egg has finer sections for older kids.
Stars, scallops and basket weave
Cute Easter Egg Character and Cute Easter Egg are the easier pages, with wide bands and big shapes. The character has a happy face and little arms, while Cute Easter Egg keeps to stars, scallops and circles with a few printed black dots. Decorated Easter Egg and Easter Egg Basket are detailed, with tiny triangles, daisies and a tight lattice weave that suit older children with sharp colored pencils.
Pastel dye colors for spring
Pink, mint, lavender and sky blue look like real dyed eggs, and alternating colors band by band creates a neat rhythm. On Easter Egg Basket, tan and brown suit the wicker with a pink bow on the handle. Finished eggs can be cut out and hung on a spring branch, taped to a window or used as a hunt clue, and the basket page makes a sweet card for a family member.
