- Galaxy Eggs: capture the beauty of the cosmos in Easter eggs with a painting technique that mimics the galactic effect. Start with a dark base, using blue, black or purple paints, then splatter small drops of white, light blue and purple paint to simulate stars and nebulae.

- Animal Eggs: transform eggs into a variety of adorable creatures using paints and construction paper. Start by painting the egg with colors that match your chosen animal, such as brown for a bear or white for a bunny. Then, add details such as ears, paws or tails by cutting shapes out of construction paper and gluing them to the egg.
