Fun Painting Easter Eggs
Why not have some fun this Easter.
Paint some Easter Eggs. You can use various methods like food coloring and vinegar, shaving cream, or even nail polish for a marbled effect, and then decorate with paints, stickers, or ribbons.
Here's a breakdown of different methods and ideas:
1. Traditional Dyeing with Food Coloring:
Preparation: Hard-boil your eggs (or use blown-out eggs for a longer-lasting display).
Dyeing:
Mix food coloring, vinegar (1 teaspoon per cup of water), and water in separate containers for different colors.
Submerge eggs in the colored water for 3-5 minutes, adjusting time for desired color intensity.
Decorating:
Once dry, add details with paint, glitter, stickers, or ribbons.
Use masking tape for straight lines or crayons for resist patterns.
2. Shaving Cream Method:
Preparation: Pour shaving cream into a tray, add food coloring, and swirl with a fork.
Dyeing: Roll eggs in the shaving cream mixture, leave for 10 minutes, and then wipe clean.
3. Nail Polish Method:
Preparation:
Fill a bowl with cold water and add drops of nail polish to create a marbled effect.
Dyeing:
Gently dip eggs into the water, allowing the nail polish to spread and create patterns.
4. Other Decorating Ideas:
Pompom Painting: Use pompoms on pegs to create dots or strokes of paint on egg shapes.
Wooden Eggs: Consider using wooden eggs for a reusable and eco-friendly option.
Natural Earth Paints: Use natural earth paints for a sustainable and colorful option.
Edible Markers: For kids, use edible markers to decorate the eggs.
Bunny Ear Napkins: Create bunny ear napkins by folding napkins and tying them around the eggs.

Experienced Pet & House Sitter Available | 28 Jan – 22 Feb 2026
Hi everyone, due to a cancellation I've had a rare gap in my pet-sitting calendar open up, and would love to fill it with more pet cuddles. I am currently sitting in St Heliers and have lived in this community for many years before starting my house sitting journey, so would love to spend more time here.
A little about me:
- I’ve been a full-time house and pet sitter for 6 years, with all 5-star reviews
- I have fostered over 450 cats and kittens with the Lonely Miaow Association, and grew up on a lifestyle block with large dogs, cats, farm animals and small pets, so I’m confident with animals of all kinds (including those needing medication or extra care). I am also studying after-hours towards a Level 3 degree in Animal Care.
- I work from home 3-4 days a week (and spend the other 1-2 days as marketing manager in SPCA's Hobsonville Centre) so have plenty of time to spend with your precious pets
- As a homeowner myself, I know how important it is to feel your place and pets are in safe hands.
- This is a free sit!

Happy to answer any questions. Please message me to discuss your petsitting needs.
