Easter is perhaps the most favorite holiday not only for children, but also for adults. Everyone can show their imagination by making crafts from eggs with their own hands. The main thing is desire and a little creative thinking. Think back to your years in elementary school. How many funny chickens we made from eggshells, painting it in bright colors and gluing funny colored paper feathers. Then there were no thoughts about how to paint eggs. The answer was one - watercolor. And how much skill was required to pierce an egg and pour out its contents without damaging the shell! Thanks to our mothers, they always helped.

Now Easter decor is more than ever in fashion. Long before the holiday, large shopping malls and supermarkets in our country have crafts with Easter motifs: baskets with chickens, various mobiles, interesting stands for eggs and Easter cakes. But, of course, there is nothing better than a surprise prepared by yourself. It can be created without problems, showing ingenuity and a little skill.

Very interesting crafts from eggs for Easter can be made by involving all family members in this interesting and bringing together work. Byat least one fun and unforgettable joint evening is guaranteed for you. Under your strict guidance, little culinary specialists will be able to prepare simple and funny tasty souvenirs from eggs, which they will then present to grandparents as Easter gifts. Dad will like more “masculine” work - making an Easter mobile from branches, feathers, hanging leaves, etc. You can take your son as an apprentice, who will be happy to serve glue and scissors, cut out flowers and leaves from paper.

Traditionally preparing for the feast of the Resurrection of Christ, our ancestors painted pysanky, which they then gave to relatives and friends. Each family has its own recommendations on how to paint eggs. Some use only natural dyes, others resort to the help of special food dyes. Yes, eggs painted with "chemistry" are brighter, there is less trouble with them, but there is no joy either. Some people think that you should not puzzle over how and with what to paint eggs in crimson or turquoise. It is better to remember grandmother's advice about traditional onion skins. This is the most common coloring method, and the color can turn out to be different - rich brown, golden or light red. It all depends on the concentration of the decoction.

If you have not yet decided how to paint eggs, then you will also be interested in learning about the possibility of using beetroot broth. Eggs must be boiled together with pieces of beets in one pan. So you can also getvarious shades - from pinkish to rich red. If, in addition to color, you want to achieve an interesting “dotted” effect, you can dip the eggs in water and roll in raw rice, then “dress” in cotton bags and boil in a time-tested broth. After they cool down, the "outfit" must be removed. That's it, now you can admire the bright colors!
