Decorated Easter Eggs In A Bird's Nest Coloring Page

Four patterned eggs sit in a woven twig nest, each one carrying a different band of decoration to color separately.

A nest of loosely woven twigs holds four eggs, and the whole arrangement rests on a spray of longer twigs that spread out sideways across the bottom of the sheet like the legs of a stand.

The eggs are the point, and no two are decorated alike. The one at the back left wears a crown of pointed zigzags at its tip above a field of fine netting. Beside it, a second carries a single open flower at its center between two scalloped bands. The third is ringed by chevrons running around its width. The smallest, tucked low in front, is covered edge to edge in overlapping scales.

That variety is what makes the page worth slowing down for. Four separate pattern systems sit side by side, and giving each its own palette turns a simple subject into something that rewards a careful hand. A small five petal flower rests on the front rim of the nest and ties the group together.

Above, two budding twigs float against open paper, each carrying pointed leaves along its length. The nest itself is drawn as dozens of crossing strands, so a light wash of one or two browns will read better there than trying to separate every twig.
