One of our favorite Easter Traditions is egg painting. Grab your paintbrushes and let your creativity crackle!

Don’t forget to wear your Cecil and Lou Easter outfits to truly get into the festive spirit!
Follow these simple instructions to ensure that your Easter eggs come out egg-stra cute:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay down newspaper or a plastic tablecloth to protect your work surface. To start your egg painting adventure, gather your supplies: hard-boiled eggs, non-toxic paint, paintbrushes, and any additional decorations like glitter or stickers. And of course, don’t forget your little ones in Cecil and Lou’s Easter-themed outfits for the perfect photo op!
2. Start with a Base Color: Choose a pastel color as your base coat and paint your eggs evenly. Let them dry completely before moving on to the next step.
3. Here’s a Crackin’ Good Tip: lightly sketch out your desired design on the egg using a pencil. This will help guide your painting and ensure a newt finish.
4. Get Painting: Use small paintbrushes to add details to your design. Whether you’re going for stripes, dots, or a cute bunny face, take your time and let your creativity shine.
5. Add Accents: To make your eggs even more egg-citing, consider adding accents like aglitter, sequins, or stickers. Just make sure they adhere well to the painted surface.
6. Let Them Dry: Allow your painted eggs to dry completely before handling or displaying them. This will ensure that your designs stay intact and look exceptional.
7. Display and Enjoy: Once your Easter eggs are dry, proudly display them in a basket or as a part of your Easter décor. They’ll add a touch of charm and whimsy to your celebrations.
