• Poland - In Poland Śmigus-Dyngus comes at the end of the Easter holiday. Boys and girls break into a free for all water fight, using water guns, balloons, and even buckets to ambush the nearest unsuspecting individual.

• Norway - Started in 1923 by a crime novelist's news-like newspaper ad, Norway's Påskekrim makes Easter the highlight of the year for crime and detective stories. Now, Easter features an annual rush of crime stories in books, television shows, and radio stations.

Easter Egg Decorating Ideas

Here are some great no-dye egg decorating ideas that will help keep your house and kids mess free this Easter!

Chalkboard Paint

Use black chalkboard paint to coat paper mache eggs then use chalk to decorate and redecorate them year after year!

Temporary Tattoos

Use temporary sticker tattoos to decorate your eggs with everything from flowers to action heroes. Simply place the tattoo on the egg, dampen it lightly, wrap a damp cloth around the egg for thirty seconds, and unwrap.

Washi Tape

Japanese Washi paper is made from natural materials and decorated in a myriad of beautiful and fun styles. Wrap your whole egg or cut out designs for solo application!
