Decorating
Easter Eggs: Use hard-boiled eggs for your easter eggs.
Here are a few different ideas for decorating your easter eggs:
Simply
use crayons or felt tip markers to draw designs on the eggs
Wet the eggs and place pieces of colored crepe paper on the
eggs. When the crepe paper is removed the color will stay
behind.
Soak different colors of crepe paper in hot water. Use a
different bowl for different colors. Add the egg to the desired
color and leave until desired color is reached.
Place the eggs in food coloring with a few drops of vinegar
added. Leave the eggs in the dye until they're nicely colored.
To dye your eggs more than one color just use scotch tape
or masking tape to cover parts of the egg and dip into a light
colored dye. When the eggs are totally dry leave the tape
on but now add more tape and dip them again into a darker
color dye. Continue doing this using more tape and darker
and darker colored dyes until you have the effect you want.
When the dye is totally dry then just peel off all the tape
and you'll have beautifully colored easter eggs.
Place eggs in egg cups. Fill paper cups about halfway with
different colors of food coloring. Cut a sponge into small
pieces and attach it to a clothespin and dip the sponge into
the food coloring. Lightly dab the sponge over the top half
of the egg. After the egg is dry then turn the egg over and
repeat the procedure.
Glue stuff on the easter eggs. Some ideas are: sequins,
buttons, lace or ribbons, small pressed flowers, decals, stickers,
glitter.

| Eggshell
Mosaic: Have mom save and wash the eggshells she uses for
making recipes using eggs. Place different colors of food coloring
into different cups and dip each shell into a different color.
Allow the shells to dry thoroughly and then crush them into
tiny pieces. Draw a picture of an easter bunny, easter egg,
etc on a piece of constuction paper and spread glue on the picture.
Cover the picture with the colored eggshells. |

Lambs: Trace the outline of your hand with fingers spread
out onto black constructiion paper and then have a parent help
you cut out the hands and turn them upside down so the four
fingers look like the legs and the thumb looks like the head.
Then glue cotton balls all over and glue small pieces of white
or pink construction paper for the eyes, nose, mouth and toes. |
