Ideas for Coloring Easter Eggs

• Answer:

  There are many ways to celebrate Easter. One of those ways is to hard boil some eggs and decorate them. Children can then give out the eggs or hide them to have a homemade Easter egg hunt. If you are brave enough to have a group of children over to color some eggs, you are going to need a few coloring ideas to keep them busy. Traditional Kids still love the traditional way of coloring eggs. Some of your eggs should be made this way. Purchase an egg dyeing kit and add the appropriate amount of water and vinegar to each cup. Then drop in a color tablet and stir until the tablet has dissolved. You now are ready to drop your egg in a cup. You can let your egg sit in the color for one minute and have a lightly colored egg, or you can let it sit in the dye for five minutes and get a dark colored egg. Another option is to draw on your egg with a crayon before you dye it. The crayon is made of wax, so whatever you draw won't stick to the color. It is like a secret hidden message that comes out when the egg is done being colored. Set the eggs out to dry before having an Easter egg hunt. Marble Easter Eggs Children can make Easter eggs with a marble like swirl to them. This trick is easy and uses everyday household ingredients. Just hard boil your eggs and set them aside to cool. Now take a cup and add 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Then add three drops of each food coloring color that you want to appear on your egg. Pour some water in the cup, but only enough so that the egg will be completely covered by the solution. Mix well and stick the egg in immediately. Swirl it around for five seconds and then remove it. Your egg will now have a marble color effect. Sponge Painting Children can paint their eggs with real paint and a sponge for a unique look. Purchase a sponge that you can cut up in to shapes. You may want to have a circle, triangle, square or a skinny rectangle. Pour acrylic paint on small paper plates. Stick one side of the sponge into your desired color of paint and then press it onto the egg. This will make the shape of the sponge appear on the egg. You can rinse the sponge out and use it again with a different color, or you can switch to using a different shape. Mix the shapes up on one egg, or have one egg just be polka dots with the circle sponge. Use your imagination when creating your painted eggs. Warning: Do not eat eggs that have been painted. Dyed eggs are OK but not painted ones.
