Easter is a great time for getting crafty. There are so many different ways to decorate and create with a simple egg. We are always on the hunt for fun Easter crafts for tweens and now that I have two teens in our house…I’m on the hunt for cool Easter crafts for teens too. 

These doodle Easter eggs are a perfect fit. Kids love doodling. Kids love working with permanent markers. These graphic designs put a modern, bright and cheery twist on classic dyed eggs. doodle easter eggs easter craft for tweens and teens

Are you a doodler? I am a doodler. My mom was a doodler. In fact, I’ve kept some of my mom’s doodles and her doodles are very dear to me. My kids are doodlers too. 

So, when I was thinking about how we could decorate our Easter eggs this year the idea of doodled Easter eggs popped into my head. 

My youngest daughter has been accumulating quite the collection of Sharpie markers and has been working on a beautifully doodle filled bullet journal. I knew she would be keen to give this a try.

First stop was the grocery store to pick up some white, large eggs. You could totally use brown eggs too. I’m sure they would be quite lovely. Try and find eggs that don’t have a stamp on them – a lot of eggs have the best before date stamped directly on them…which is kinda weird. Anyhow, once you have you’re eggs, it’s time to get to work.

DIY Sharpie Easter Eggs

Sharpie markers of various colours (or another permanent marker) 

The first step is to prepare your eggs. So, I have always used hollowed out eggs for my Easter decorations. I love blown out eggs because they keep forever. Lots of people use hard boiled eggs…but those aren’t going to last. If you have never blown out an egg before here is how to blow out an egg. 

egg with push pin hole in itStart by using a push pin to poke a hole in each end of the egg. You have to push pretty hard to break the shell. You want to repeatedly poke the pin into the egg, to make a hole that is about 2 mm wide.

The filling will start to flow out. If it gets stuck, poke the toothpick into the egg again. Just keep blowing. It’s kinda like blowing up a balloon. Tight as first and then all of a sudden everything will come flowing out. If you don’t want to put your mouth directly on the egg, some people place a straw over the hole. I’ve never tried this, but I’m sure it would work. It might not be quite as easy as using your mouth. This is not an activity for young kids to do.

Take your time and let yours and your kids creativity lead you.

What will you and your kids doodle on your Easter eggs?
