Paint a few eggs with stripes, dots or each person's initials, then let them dry before arranging them in a bowl. The plain wood gives everyone room to choose a design instead of matching a kit.
Before you buy. These are decorative craft eggs, not food. The rounded shape needs a support while painting and will not stand upright by itself; check the selected size before ordering.
From customer reviews
Customers describe smooth surfaces that are ready to decorate. A review of the 2½-inch eggs mentions painting them together; the listing also includes feedback on smaller sizes.
A shared set of pastel colors suits painted wooden eggs, paper shapes and small spring signs. Put out only a few colors at a time and use scrap paper to try the pattern first.
Before you buy. Use this craft paint on decorative projects, keeping it away from edible eggs and food tools. Protect the table and wash brushes while the paint is still wet.
From customer reviews
Reviewers like the color selection and coverage for craft projects. Some describe a chalky-looking matte finish, so try a small sample if the final texture matters.
A mix of brush shapes gives a small group tools for broad color and finer details. Keep a brush for the background and another for dots or lines so decorating does not stall over one shared brush.
Before you buy. Rinse brushes while the paint is wet and keep them with the craft supplies. This is the ten-piece Learn to Paint set; it does not include paint or eggs.
From customer reviews
Customers describe useful everyday craft brushes with comfortable handles. Reviewers also mention soft bristles and straightforward cleanup.
Cut a few egg shapes for the paper hunt, fold simple place cards or make a spring garland. The pack has ten sheets each of pink, blue, green, yellow and cream, leaving room for several small projects.
Before you buy. This is cardstock, not watercolor paper. Check your printer's paper-weight limits if printing clues, and try wet art materials on a scrap before committing to a finished card.

White · 30 folded 4 × 6-inch cards with 30 envelopes
A handwritten note with room for a drawing
Joyberg blank cards and envelopes

Before you buy. The envelopes measure 4.25 × 6.25 inches. Check your printer’s paper limits before printing; these are greeting cards, not specialist photo paper.
From customer reviews
Buyers like the paper weight and matching envelopes. One found inkjet images less vibrant than on dedicated printing paper.
Three 5-inch pairs · red, blue and turquoise · listed ages 4–7
Cutting paper egg shapes with help
Fiskars children's blunt-tip scissors
Three pairs let a small group work on paper shapes together. The small handles suit the listed age range; an adult can draw simple outlines or prepare harder cuts beforehand.
Before you buy. Supervise cutting even with blunt tips. The listing specifies right-handed use; choose an appropriate alternative for a left-handed child. These are paper-craft scissors, not kitchen tools.
From customer reviews
Customers describe scissors that fit small hands and cut paper without much frustration. The observed feedback includes this color set and other three-pack colors.
Patterned egg stickers add color to a handwritten card or the outside of an envelope. Four sheets can be shared around the table, with twelve egg designs on each sheet.
Before you buy. These are paper stickers for craft surfaces. Test the adhesive before relying on it on textured bags, and check the sheet size if you need very small decorations.
From customer reviews
Reviewers enjoy the colors and use the stickers on Easter cards and envelopes. One reports weak adhesion on paper bags, while another found the stickers larger than expected.
For paper eggs, start with paper and a pencil. For painted wooden decorations, choose eggs, craft paint and brushes. There is no need to buy the whole list.
Give each material its place
Keep craft paint and decorative wooden eggs separate from edible eggs and kitchen tools. Use watercolor paper for watercolor painting; the pastel cardstock is a different material.
Make participation easy
Prepare difficult cuts, supervise scissors and offer large shapes or stickers for people who prefer them. Let painted work dry before turning it into a display.
