I gave these dyed eggs a full-on spring makeover by turning them into the cutest, spring-iest fruits and veggies. This is a fun way to up your egg-dyeing game without investing in a lot of fancy supplies. We just used the dye tabs from the grocery store, then added accents with crayons and felt pieces. This is definitely one to get the kids in on! To see how my family and I made these adorable DIY fruit and veggie Easter eggs, keep reading. And head here to check out the full DIY video!
This craft is the perfect opportunity to get creative. What are your favorite fruits and vegetables? I chose ones that remind me of spring: strawberries, carrots, radishes, peas-in-a-pod, pineapples, tomatoes, blueberries, leeks, even a couple watermelons! Use your imagination to recreate egg-sized versions of all your favorites.
Supplies:
- Hard-boiled eggs (white eggs work best at taking the colors)
- Easter egg dye tabs
- Crayons
- Felt
- Scissors
- Hot glue
Instructions:
Step 1: Dye your hard-boiled eggs according to the package directions. Let cool.
Step 2: Use your creativity to create fun fruits & veggies. I drew the designs on with crayon. Some work better if you draw them on beforehand, like the white spots on the strawberries.
Step 3: Cut out the greenery for your plants from felt. I used a few shades of green: a dark, a bright, and a muted grassy green.
Step 4: Hot glue your felt on and let dry. These fruit and veggie eggs make the cutest Easter centerpiece lying atop some Easter grass.
