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. Directions can be
found
here
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. (instructions
for blown 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.
