I take you through the process of making a traditional pysanka with traditional symbols and colours. You can watch as I use a traditional stylus with wax, and traditional coloured dyes.
Grab yourself the Pysanks Package for your classroom or home, tailed to students around grades 3 - 6. You can grab it here: www.teacherspayteachers.com/P...

I am not a teacher but I am a mom with Ukrainian blood trying to teach my kids about culture and pysanka. I would love to have the opportunity to create pysanka with them and learn more about our culture! :)
This is beautiful, thank you for commenting. Good luck!
Great, now off to do it with 4 eager grand kids....fingers crossed ---lol---, thanks,,,
Just watched from Ottawa, I’m excited to try making a pysanky with my son who is in grade 3.
Grade 3 is such a wonderful grade (Although I'm slightly biased having taught it for 5 years myself haha). Hello to you and your family, thank you for commenting and joining my channel :)
So timely and amazing! Thanking you for promoting the Ukrainian tradition. May their land and their traditions return
Amen 🙏! And agreed ❤️ thank you for watching and commenting ❤️
Amazing, thank you for sharing!
I am a librarian...our students are amazed with the artwork and the process. Ukrainian Pysanka eggs are so beautiful! Let the traditions continue! Prayers for Ukraine.
Thank you Sylvia for your comment, absolutely! ❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely teaching style you have! You remind me of my Gr. 3 teacher, Miss Pretty :) You have inspired me to try these with my daughter.. so much room for meaning and tradition and beauty in one little egg!
Aw thank you for leaving such a nice comment - what a cute name your teacher had! Enjoy the process, it’s really fun!
Hi from BC! Great video- my daughter (8 yr old) gasped when she saw the line missing (where the wax fell off). Then told me that if she was a professional making the eggs, she would put the Sun symbol over top of a mistake so no one could see her mistake. Then she gasped again and asked if we could start making these eggs. You inspired an 8 yr old - so thank you. 🥚 + ❤️=🥰
Haha that is too sweet! Yes I was a little sad when the wax came off, I should have known better than to use cold eggs straight from the fridge haha! So cute of her. Thanks so much for watching and commenting - good luck :)
Been doing this since 9
Watching from Ottawa, hoping to do this a library program.
Thank you so much for this video. My children and I decorated Pysankas years ago, but I couldn’t remember the process.
Thank you kindly for watching and commenting! Good luck to you :)
Thanks for this great lesson, sharing with friends and are going to make our pysanka with kids on Saturday
Wonderful! Enjoy!
This was such a special way to celebrate with my kids! Both my 10 and 13 year old spent hours designing and making eggs with me today. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
We decorated our easter eggs today and my kiddos and I used wax crayons to mimic the batique method. Then we watched your videos and were mesmerized. We would be honoured to win the supplies so we can try it ourselves. I love this sort of detailed patterns in art and my daughter is starting to follow in my footsteps. :)
That is wonderful! Thank you for watching and for commenting! Good luck!
Just watched this with my kids, and they are so excited to make these. The end result always looked so difficult to achieve, I never thought to try. I love you've broken this down. This is going to be part of our Easter traditions now. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment and welcome :). Good luck!
I love your video - Arianna
😘😘😘
Charlie and I just Finished writing ours tonight!! ♥️
Great video! I showed it to my daughter and son so they could see what I grew up doing with my Mom and Baba around Easter every year.
Aw I love hearing that ❤️❤️ What a beautiful way to share some of your experiences with your children ;)
It's beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video. My grandma was from
Romania and made eggs as well. She framed some for me. It’s something I will always treasure.
That's so lovely to hear! I would love to see what her Romanian version look like :)
Thank you very much for the lesson. Me and my daughters watched it. We would love to win the kit! Happy Easter!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Good luck!
Very well explained such intricate details Love it!
I'm Polish and I'm amazed how much culture we share with Ukraine! Not surprising as much knowing both nations was once a one country. X
Absolutely !!
I can’t wait to use this to supplement my lesson in the classroom on Pysanky. Thanks for the contest and the awesome content you create!
Thank you and дякую for your comment and support
Thanks for the info! Looking forward to sharing this with my students!
So glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful :)
These are beautiful!! Will have to try this. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks Amanda for commenting and watching! Enjoy!
These are SO BEAUTIFUL, I love this!!
Thank you Melanie!
Happy Easter! :)
To you as well!
Thank you! :)
Beautiful! I loved learning more about this tradition. Thank you for sharing! This is perfect for sharing with my childrens group.
Wonderful to hear! What are the ages of your children's group?
Loved these videos. Used to supplement the book Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco where they make Pysanka eggs. Thank you.
Thank you for letting me know about the book recommendation - I’ll have to check it out!
Thank you for such an awesome tutorial and the previous video about the pysanky history. We are so inspired! I made these as a child in school and I'm excited to revisit this tradition with my own kids. Watching from the Ottawa Valley, ON!
Hi Lisa, thanks so much for leaving a comment, and hello to you in Ottawa Valley! Enjoy the process, they are fun to make!
We’re from South Georgia and will be trying Pysanka tomorrow for Easter! I’m so excited to try it out.
Hello! Thank you for commenting and watching :)
Thank you so much for making this video - my daughters and I would love to try making traditional Pysanka, and I will most definitely incorporate this into my teaching!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching and good luck!
We enjoyed your video. Our day was based around the book Rachenka's Eggs. I found your video looking up Pysanky eggs with the kids. Thank you for the great videos and worksheets. They added something great to our discussions. The kids are excited to design and try making there own.
That’s wonderful! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Good luck!
what an amazing piece of history you are preserving. my 5yo is excited to try this. We may have a new tradition in our house hold.
Thank you so much for commenting and joining my channel! Hello to your 5 year old :)
Your Psyanka is very beautiful. I am about to try pysanka with my family since my kids' Nana is here and is of Ukrainian descent (grew up in Smokey Lake!). I also teach K to 8 this year and would use this set to do some individual egg decorating with future small groups as part of their reading activity. I love this tradition and the symbolism as well
Have fun!
Thank you for making this film! My First Grade Super Surfers are excited about creating their own Pysanky! (They are sad we missed the contest, though ;)
Haha that’s too cute! Thanks for commenting and hello to your grade 1 super surfers!
Thank you so much for sharing. I have always been curious about Pysanka but have never tried. This video just reminded me how much I would love to try! Watched your first video and found it so interesting and inspiring. Love the fact that the designs and colours have a meaningful significance. Love your Pysanka, from Quebec, Canada. Would love to see more!
Hello and Bonjour to you! Merci Beaucoup for commenting and joining my channel! :)
@@3peaksclassroom the pleasure is for me🙂
I teach teenagers and have been looking for a good resource to use to explain Pysanka eggs. I am so excited to use your videos and TPT's this week with them. Thank you!
Does the candle that is used to heat the Kiska need to be beeswax?
@@katrinaadams4238 Any candle will do - the candle is just used to heat up the kistka. You can use any wax in the kistka, but beeswax is the norm.
The eggs and this art form are so beautiful! I teach 4th grade in a christian school and it's wonderful to share something culturally important to this Christian holiday. Your work is lovely. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great gift. I'm heading to your TPT store now! Thanks!
Thank you again for watching and commenting :) welcome! Good luck 🤞🏻
I am sending this to my Pilates teacher so she can give her children's event a new experience it is really well demonstrated the best I have seen so far I made pisanki as a child but no one explained the symbols before I am now 65
Hi Krysia, you have a beautiful name ❤️ and thank you for commenting - I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
Awwe. So cool. I'm not a teacher but my sister is so I do appreciate the hard work of good teachers and you did a great job on this video. I wanted to see how the Ukrainian eggs were decorated and made. My 87 year old mother and I watched your tutorial together. We figured we would watch a lesson made for kids so we could understand it. Ha ha
Haha that sounds like a solid plan! I hope you found it helpful :)
My daughter and I recently attended a fundraising workshop but unfortunately had to leave half-way through. Have watched a number of videos since but so far this one is most preferable. Thank you!
Oh thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say. Thank you for watching and commenting!
So pretty! Very helpful to see and hear how to make these beauties! I also learned how to say pysanka properly ;) do you blow out your eggs? Have you made these with your students? I love to pair this with Rychenka’s Eggs 🥰 Thank you for sharing!
Yes I do make these with my students, but I do recommend adult volunteers on those days because of the open flames and such. I also blow out my pysanky to preserve them - it's not a pretty visual haha.
What a beautiful way to decorate eggs. With the war that is going on right now I will be making some to honor the Ukrainian people. #PrayForUkraine
Thank you for your prayers - we still need them ❤️
Beautiful! I have never seen one made before, but my son came home from school saying his class was making them so I thought I would look it up and came across your video! Very interesting. I teach grade 2/3 and we have talked about Ukrainian Pysanka before and then usually colour some, but we have never tried to make them! Your students are lucky, this would be fun!
Well done to your sons teacher for incorporating some Ukrainian cultural art into the classroom :). Thank you for watching and for commenting! Good luck :)
CONGRATULATIONS :)🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 You are the winner of the Personal Pysanka Set :). Please contact me via email (3peaksclassroom@gmail.com) for further instructions.
Video of the winning name is posted via UA-cam Shorts and Instagram Stories! Thank you everyone who commented and participated. I appreciate your support so much ❤️
@@3peaksclassroom We are so excited!! Thank you ❤ My son had his fingers and toes crossed!
The egg came out amazing, thank you for sharing a tutorial but I missed how the stylus heats up to melt the wax?
Hi Sondra! Sorry about that, I managed to edit that clip out of the video 😅. I just hold the metal part of the stylus near the flame.
Hello, Great video! Very intresting and easy to understand! How do you mix the colour? Is it only water or vinegar too? Do you have something special in it to be able to keep it a whole year? Thanks! All the best!
Hello Mattias! The instructions on how to make the dyes are printed directly on the dye packet - usually it's distilled water with a teaspoon of vinegar and the dye. I don't put anything in it and the dye usually stays good for 2-3 years (unless something gets into the dye like a cracked egg or food or something, then we dispose of it right away).
Thank you for the informative video!! My kids and I are doing a mini study on Ukrainian culture. We learned a lot! Thank you!! And we can't wait to try to make some Pysanka!
Hello 👋🏻! Thank you for watching and for commenting :)
Amazing! As always these videos are super well organized and thought-out. Please pick me for the give away!!!
You've made a excellent video! Your booklet looks interesting and it's clearly presented. As a retired Grade three teacher, I think it's well suited for classroom use. Canada has the largest population of citizens outside of the country of Ukraine , therefore the teaching of pysanky in Canadian schools has cultural, historical and of course , artistic value. I have one concern however about the use of candles to melt the wax on the dyed egg. I know that a substace similar to paint thinner can also be used but that wouldn't work in the classroom due to the toxicity of the fumes which emanate off of the paint thinner. Parent helpers could assist with the use of candles I suppose but I'm wondering about school district rules about the use of candles in the classroom. Could you please comment? Thank you.
Each district would have their own policies for sure. I know within my own district it isn’t an issue so long as it’s supervised. I appreciate the comment and heads up of course! Thank you for the comment and for watching :). Good luck!
Can I buy this book without being a member?
Please.
P.S. where are you located?
Hi Sam, this resource is currently only available on the TPT site. I am located in Alberta :). Thanks for watching and being here!
Technique after vinegar wash eggs and pinhole blow out? Many sources U.S. for supplies beginner to advanced, ex. Minnesota.
Yes some people use that technique as well.. I’ve just never done it like that. Can you melt the wax off easily like that as well?
I blow the eggs out 1st
