In honor of Winnie the Pooh returning to theatres this summer (July 15th), Disney has provided us with exclusive Easter-Themed Images of our favorite Hundred Acre Wood characters!
Finally, because Easter wouldn’t be complete without Painting and Decorating Eggs, below you
will find some fun ways to design your eggs in the spirit of Winnie the Pooh and Friends!
WINNIE
THE POOH is our beloved
‘hunny’-loving bear, so why not choose one of his favorite things -
a honey jar – to create as an Easter egg? You want it to look like a real
honey jar so use tape to cover the top of the egg where the lid will be and
also a wide strip of tape around the middle for the ‘HUNNY’ label.
Boil half a cup of water, mix in 30-40
drops of blue food dye, and one tablespoon of white vinegar. When it cools,
gently lower the egg into the pot. The longer the egg remains in the pot, the
darker the color gets! Once you are happy with the color, take it out with a
spoon, dry it and remove the tape. Then stick the word ‘HUNNY’ in
tape to the egg, and pop it back in the pot, just for a few seconds to make the
‘label’ pale blue. Finally, you can use acrylic paint for a blob of
honey and leave the word ‘HUNNY’ in the egg’s natural color. If
Pooh could see your Easter egg, he might think it looked so much like a honey
jar that he would keep it in his personal collection!
TIGGER would be ecstatically happy
about painting Easter eggs. You could have a go at painting an egg that looks
like Tigger! First, use an orange watercolor crayon to paint the entire egg
orange. While it dries, bounce around a bit – Tigger – style! Then
draw in the tiger stripes with a steady hand and a black marker and fill them
in with a black watercolor crayon. You can use a pink button for the nose and
draw on eyebrows, eyes, mouth and whiskers with the black marker.
Tigger-tastic!
EEYORE we all know would probably
be less excited about painting Easter Eggs, so why not create one of his
favorite food -- thistles, of course! All you need are some crayons, a little
spinach and also purple and green acrylic paints. Draw the thistle with a
crayon, to prevent the area from being dyed. Boil the spinach, letting it
simmer for 45 minutes. Put the egg into the water to color it green. The crayon
colored thistle won’t dye (due to the wax in the crayon), so you can use
acrylic paints to finish your egg. Even Eeyore would have to admit it
looks pretty sweet.
PIGLET loves his friends, and his
motto is “Even if you are rather small you can still have a very big
heart.” Why not paint a Piglet style Easter egg, with huge hearts on it?
First, draw seven hearts with a marker, and then use small pieces of sponge
with different colors to paint the egg. You can paint the whole egg pale blue
like the sky and then paint each of the hearts with one of the colors of the
rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Piglet would love this Easter egg because
it’s small and cute, just like him!
To have more adventures with Pooh and
friends go and see WINNIE THE POOH, the brand new film by Disney, in theatres
July 15th!
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Walt Disney Animation Studios
returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with “Winnie the Pooh.” Featuring
the timeless charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new
movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little
brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo—and
last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail. “Ever
have one of those days where you just can’t win, Eeyore?” asks
Pooh. Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin
from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who
simply set out to find some honey. Inspired by three stories from A.A.
Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style,
“Winnie the Pooh” hits theatres on July 15th!
