Now that the kiddos are (almost) 3 and 5, they are getting much more engaged with holiday traditions and crafts. This Easter is going to be especially fun, especially with these fun super hero Easter eggs! If you’re looking for Easter ideas for toddlers, this project is perfect, as they are super easy, even for little hands to make. The boys love, love, LOVE anything to do with super heroes (see their Avengers-themed bedroom décor and our family Avengers Halloween costumes for reference). It occurred to me that we could make really simple superhero Easter eggs by drawing on eggs that have been dyed the colors of their favorite super hero costumes. Since minions also fit in with this Easter craft idea, we included some minion Easter eggs as well (they also love Despicable Me minions! See G’s minion-themed birthday party, our family Despicable Me Halloween costumes, and this easy toilet paper roll minion craft). The kids loved the idea, and they loved making and playing with the eggs even more.
As I said, these are super easy (very much in line with Fab Everyday’s theme of finding fabulous things that don’t take a ton of time, effort, or dollars), and don’t require that many supplies.
The superhero Easter eggs we decided to make:
- Spiderman Easter eggs
- Ironman Easter eggs (G’s favorite)
- Captain America Easter eggs (S’s favorite)
- Hulk Easter eggs
- Minion Easter eggs (because, why not?)
What you need to make Super Hero Easter Eggs:
-
Hard boiled eggs (if you need fool-proof instructions on boiling eggs, I like this one on Simply Recipes)
-
Easter egg dye – bright or bold, not pastel (I always like PAAS brand, which I was able to find for $1 at my local HEB)
-
Sharpie markers (I used a black and a silver)
How to decorate superhero Easter eggs:
-
Dye your eggs. Here is what we did for each character’s Easter egg decorations:
-
Spiderman – red on top, blue on bottom
-
Ironman – red on back, yellow on front
-
Captain America – all blue
-
Hulk – green on top, purple on bottom
-
Minion – yellow on top, blue on bottom
-
-
Let eggs dry.
-
Using a permanent marker, draw some very basic characteristics onto the super hero eggs. Keep it simple… it is not only less stressful this way, but it is also pretty cute. Here is what we did for each character:
-
Spider-man Easter eggs – Eyes, spider symbol on chest
-
Iron Man Easter eggs – Eyes and mouth (from his mask)
-
Captain America Easter eggs – Eyes, mouth, A on forehead, star on chest
-
Hulk Easter eggs – Angry eyes and mouth, nose, hair
-
Minion Easter eggs- Goggles, mouth, hair
-
Here is how they turned out:
