A great, fun craft to do with your kids or
surprise your kids with these fun
eggs!
You will need:
Eggs
(raw)
You will need to blow these
out.
Food
Coloring
Vinegar
Bowls
Large
Spoon
Egg
Cartons
Confetti
(or small pieces of paper torn
up)
Tape
White
Glue
Directions:
1. Make sure you blow out the eggs.
2. Gently place the shells in bowls of
vinegar mixed with food coloring. I would
use about 1/2 cup of vinegar with your
favorite color combination.
3. Soak the shells until they are dyed.
Use a large spoon to remove the eggs from
the bowls. Place the eggs on on side down
egg carton and allow them to dry
completely.
4. Slightly enlarge the hole at the end of
each egg. Fill the eggs about 1/2 full of
confetti. Use tape to close the hole in
each egg. You can also place a small
amount of white glue to cover the whole.
Allow ample time to dry.
More Ideas:
Egg tosses with Confetti Eggs are a
smash! Arrange two lines facing each other
and have participants toss the eggs back
and forth, moving father away from each
other.
Use Confetti Eggs at any spring party.
After the eggs are filled, let quests
squeeze them and sprinkle confetti over
the heads of their friends.
For a more finished look, the holes can be
covered with tissue paper that is dipped
in egg white to make it stick to the
shell.
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
