Easter Egg Tree

This page brings a beloved spring tradition to life: the Easter egg tree. A small leafy tree holds several decorated eggs hanging from its branches by little loops, each egg sporting a different stripe or dot pattern, with a couple of cheerful birds and blossoms tucked among the leaves. The hanging eggs give you a row of small canvases to decorate, while the tree, birds, and flowers round out a full spring picture. There is something for every age, from the broad leafy canopy for younger colorers to the patterned eggs for those who like detail. Decorating a tree or branches with painted eggs is a real custom in parts of Europe, where families hang dozens of eggs outdoors to welcome spring. Color the leaves fresh green, then make every hanging egg a different bright shade. Print it on US Letter or A4 and trim your tree.
