• an easter egg hunt style – eggs are hidden among adorable springtime illustrations of bunnies, chicks, flowers, and more, making it a fun seek-and-find activity each day.
• a simple countdown path – eggs are arranged in an easy-to-follow path from 1 to 20, perfect for kids who may need a more clear visual sequence.

both versions add a little daily excitement and help kids keep track of how many days are left until easter sunday. just print, grab some crayons, and let the countdown fun begin!

make it your own: a simple + open ended easter countdown 

one of the best things about this easter countdown coloring sheet is how flexible it is—you can keep it as a quick, no-prep activity or turn it into a bigger tradition with other springtime fun.

• count up or count down – choose what makes the most sense for your family. counting up from 1 to 20 is straight-forward fun, while counting down from 20 to 1 adds a sense of anticipation. i'm team counting from 1 to 20, because if you miss a day, you only need to know the date to catch up!
• morning or bedtime routine – start or end the day by coloring an egg together. it’s a simple way to add a little seasonal magic to your normal routines.
• print it small or large - keep it standard letter-size for easy coloring, or go big by having it printed as an engineer print or blueprint at your local print shop for a supersized version that kids will love.
• pair with other activities – after coloring the day’s egg, try a quick spring-themed craft, read an easter book, or do a small act of kindness like making a card for a friend.

no matter how you use it, this countdown keeps the excitement going all month long while making the wait for easter feel special.
