Ice cream cone Easter egg decorating idea. 

ice cream cone Easter eggs 

Is it too early to start decorating Easter eggs? I hope not. It’s been so warm here in DC it’s definitely not too early for ice cream. These super cute ice cream cone Easter eggs are simple to paint and require no dye.

Choose any “flavor” you like. (Just be sure to use non-toxic paint, of course, if you plan on eating the eggs.)

And bonus, these use brown eggs. I find that around Easter, the white eggs are harder to find in my supermarket.
