Celebrating Easter:
Marbleized Easter Eggs
Looking for an unusual egg coloring technique for Easter? Something different rather than the old standard “out of the box” colors? Try this neat craft and get rave reviews!
Activity Supplies:
1 box assorted food coloring
1 roll paper towels
Aluminum foil
Hardboiled eggs
Directions:
Tear off a sheet of aluminum foil that is a bit larger than the paper towel. Place it on a protected work surface. Place one paper towel on top. Put 8 to 10 drops of food coloring (one or more colors) in the center of the paper towel. Allow a few minutes for the color to spread about six inches in diameter.
Place a damp, but not too wet, egg on its side in the center of the paper towel. Starting at the bottom of the egg, very gently press the foil around the egg, working your fingers toward the top until egg is completely wrapped. Carefully peel back the foil and paper towel together. Let dry.
The effects will vary according to colors you use and the folds in the foil. Once the paper towel is saturated, you can use dry eggs. If you are careful, you can do at least 6 eggs with one set of materials.
