How to Start
Before you start to decorate real eggs with the kids, make sure you properly prepare the eggs to avoid any nasty messes mid decoration!
Option 1:
Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard-boil the eggs you are going to use. If you plan to eat the eggs after decoration, be aware that boiled eggs are usually not safe to eat when left unrefrigerated for more than two hours. Here's our guide to achieving the perfect hard-boiled egg for Easter decorations.

Option 2:
