Easter Eggs

Use hard-boiled eggs for your easter eggs (raw eggs can break if pressed on too hard). 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 colouring 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
