Colored felt tip pens (lightning bolts, mosaics,
thunder clouds, flower designs).
Melted Crayons. Hold crayon in
candle flame* and let melted crayon drip over and
run down sides. Use several colors layering one over
the other.
Stamps. A star stamp on a gold
stamp pad makes an elegant egg design.
Spray paint. Our silver eggs were
placed on old newspaper and sprayed (do not eat
these eggs)
Commercial Dyes. These are simple
to do and make an eggscellent base to decorate
further.
Thumbprint eggs: Roll thumb on
stamp pad then onto hard cooked eggs. Use black
marking pen to transform prints into animals.
Personalized Eggs: Use decals to
put kids names on hard cooked eggs.
Pastel Eggs: Use commercial dyes
but leave eggs in color for 1 hour only. Results in
pretty pastel colors.
Stamped Eggs: Use favorite stamps
to decorate hard cooked eggs.
Cascarones: Use a knife to knock
the tops off raw eggs. Empty contents in a bowl and
refrigerate until use. Rinse out egg shell, let dry,
then decorate with felt tip pens. Fill with confetti
or other small scraps of paper. Use tissue paper and
glue to seal the opening. On festive occasions, like
birthdays or Easter, break open the eggs and scatter
the colorful contents.
