crafting with grandma - Decorate those Eggs!

Resurrection Sunday is just a week and a half away, so if you are looking for some fun ways to have your grandchildren decorate eggs this year, look at these great ideas I found on Pinterest . . . 

Melted Crayon Eggs . . . while this may sound complicated, it is actually really simple! The biggest thing to keep in mind with this, is to be sure to give your grandchildren somewhere to place their hot eggs so they do not have to hold them while they are decorating them. I think an egg carton would work well for this, they will just need you to rotate their egg so they can decorate all sides! You'll find the specifics for this decorating technique at the following link.

Chalk Eggs . . . this is a lot of fun! Just color your eggs with chalkboard paint, then once it has dried, let children decorate with chalk! Great fun! You'll find the specifics at this link. (If any paint gets through the shell and on the eggs - do not eat the eggs)

Baking Soda Eggs . . . this is one my grandsons loved when we did this a few years ago! Substitute food coloring for the tempera paint so the eggs will be edible and depending on the size of the containers you use the children will be able to put more than one egg in at a time. This is a LOT of fun! You'll find the specifics at this link.

Which of these might you use? How have you colored/decorated eggs in the past? 

Enjoy!
