Easter is coming soon, and Easter decorations and Easter crafts always include Easter Eggs. It’s an excellent time for kids to have fun with parents decorating Easter Eggs. When I was a child, it was always an adventure to try new ways of Easter eggs coloring. We would do it every year in some new, unusual way – and the results were always a surprise. I’m sure, the nature of children didn’t change much even though I was growing up in the previous Millenium(!).
Anyway, if you didn’t spend time with your kids decorating Easter eggs before, you should give it a try this year and prepare all the materials you need in advance. Family traditions make relationships stronger, so let’s take a look at some fantastic ideas for decorating Easter eggs that you can try this year!
The most simple way of decorating Easter eggs is giving them dye bath, but if you’ve been doing this for many years, wouldn’t you like to try some new ideas for Easter 2023? I looked for the most fun ideas, tips, and tricks for decorating Easter eggs and came up to share with you a list of my favorites.

4. Easter Eggs made of Colorful Gelatin
You will need these Plastic Eggs and gelatin of four different colors, like Jell-O (pack of 4: Green Apple, Cherry, Watermelon, Blue Raspberry) and a plastic syringe.
It’s pretty simple recipe but takes some time because you’ll have to refrigerate each layer or jello for 10-15 minutes one after another. You can’t add the new layer before the previous is completely still, so the colors don’t mix with each other.
On the top of each plastic egg make holes big enough to use the syringe, using a knife will break the plastic; so better use thin scissors or an awl. Note: every second layer of gelatin was mixed with Greek yogurt to create a matte color.
