Frequently Asked Questions
Which coloring tools work best for this decorated Easter egg sheet?
Standard crayons and colored pencils work wonderfully on regular printer paper. If your child wants to use markers or paints, we recommend printing the page onto heavyweight cardstock so the ink does not soak through.
Can younger preschoolers complete this page on their own?
Younger children around age three or four may need a little guidance to match the numbers with the correct colors in the key. Older children can usually work independently, making this a great versatile activity for siblings of different ages to enjoy together.
What should I do if we do not have the exact matching colors?
Feel free to swap any color in the key with whatever crayons or markers you already have available at home. Encouraging your child to choose their own substitute shades helps foster creativity and makes the finished egg entirely unique.
