colored eggs

Dyed springtime decorations

Colored eggs are eggs with dyed or painted shells, most commonly associated with Easter celebrations.

Children hunt for them, hide them, and decorate them as a springtime craft: We spent Saturday afternoon making colored eggs with the kids.

The tradition connects to themes of rebirth and renewal.
