1. Ready-to-Print Templates
   ────────────────────────────────────────────

Design A: “Bunny & Basket”
• Difficulty: Beginner (≈15 shapes)
• Color Key (suggested 12 ml acrylic tubes or colored pencils)

Design B: “Floral Easter Egg” (medium difficulty, ≈25 shapes)
Design C: “Chick Breaking From Egg” (easy, kids under 6)
Design D: “Cross with Lilies” (faith-based, intermediate shading)

2) DIY-Your-Own Paint-By-Number in 4 Steps
────────────────────────────────────────────

STEP 1 – Pick/Sketch the Image
• Easter icons: bunny, basket, eggs, lilies, lamb, cross, dove, tulips.
• Keep lines bold. Avoid tiny slivers for young kids.

STEP 2 – Digitize & Simplify
• Snap a photo or scan the sketch.
• Import into free software (Krita, Autodesk Sketchbook, Procreate, Canva).
• Use “Posterize” or “Cutout” filter to reduce to 8–12 color zones.

STEP 3 – Assign Numbers & Palette
• Classic palette = 6–10 Easter pastels; add darker accents for contrast.
• Label each shape with 1, 2, 3… (a thin light-gray font prints faintly).

STEP 4 – Print & Package
• Include a separate “color key” page.
• For kits: drop in mini paint pots (5 ml each), two brushes (round #2 & flat 1/4"), and a quick-dry sheet (wax paper).

3) Age & Setting Tips
────────────────────────────────────────────

Little Bunnies (ages 3–6)
• Limit to 4–5 colors.
• Use washable tempera or chunky crayons.
• Pre-dot small areas with the correct color so they can match visually.

Grade-School Artists (ages 7–11)
• 6–8 colors, simple shading tricks: mix a dab of white to create highlights.
• Turn it into math fun: “Find all the 3s—how many did you count?”

Teens & Adults
• Up to 12 colors; introduce metallic gold for eggshell shine.
• Try watercolor or gouache for softer blends; finish with white gel-pen highlights.

Group Event / Classroom
• Print on 9 × 12" cardstock in black-and-white.
• Set up stations with labeled paint cups.
• Timer challenge: 20 min stations → rotate → collaborative mural!

Church or Community Center
• Reusable canvases sealed with gesso.
• Optionally varnish finished works and auction them for charity.

────────────────────────────────────────────
4) Finishing Touches & Display
────────────────────────────────────────────

• Seal: a thin layer of matte Mod Podge or fixative spray stops smudging.
• Frame: pastel cardstock borders or wooden embroidery hoops (cute for eggs).
• Photo Op Wall: glue photos onto pastel construction paper and write “He is Risen!” or “Hoppy Easter!” in bubble letters.
