Easter egg coloring pages are one of those easy, low-stress things that can keep kids busy and also make grown-ups feel calm too. You don’t need fancy art skills. You just need a few crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and a little bit of time. Some eggs look best with simple stripes, and some look great with tiny details (but yeah, tiny details can be a bit annoying sometimes).
These printables are free to download and print. Once you open them, you can also find even more free designs to print. They are made in standard US letter size, and they also fit really nice on A4 paper too.
Easter egg coloring pages: 29 easy and fun ideas
Quick coloring tips for Easter egg coloring pages
Keep it easy (especially if you’re doing a lot)
- Pick 3–5 colors first. If you pick 20 colors, it can turn chaotic fast.
- Start with light colors. You can always go darker later, but not the other way.
- Color in one direction. Side-to-side strokes look smoother than random scribbles.
- Leave some white space. White space makes the colors look more bright, weirdly.
- Mix tools: Use crayons for big areas, pencils for small details, markers for outlines.
Printing tips (so it comes out nice)
- Print on standard US letter, and it should also fit A4 without trouble.
- If you want less bleed-through, try slightly thicker paper.
- For little kids, choose designs with bigger shapes (dots, stripes, hearts).
- For older kids (and adults too), go for flowers, swirls, and small details.
