EXTRA- FUNNY ACTIVITIES

EASTER
Choose your favourite one and do it!

1. Food Coloring Dyed Easter Eggs


Materials:

 hard boiled egg(s)


 vinegar (plain white)
 small bowls, cups or empty margarine containers
 water
 food color drops

Instructions:

 fill containers about 1/2 to 2/3 full of water.  Don't full TOO full or when you put
the eggs in it will overflow.  I like using cups because it's the most frugal *grin*.
 
 Add 1 tsp of vinegar (for every 1 cup - ish of water.  We don't need absolute
measurements here, but if you're using a gallon ice cream pail you'll need more
vinegar than if you're using a teacup).
 
 Add drops of food color until you're happy with the hue.  (I usually get happy with
the hue and then add 2 more drops... I find that tends to make the eggs the color I
was originally happy with).
 
 Put hard boiled eggs in the cups (I use a Tbsp to put them in and take them out).
 
 Let dry.  Wipe with vegetable oil (with paper towel or a rag) to make a glossier egg
2. Crayon Easter Eggs
This project combines a child's artistic skills with regular Easter egg
dying techniques.  You can use store bought dye or the home made
variety.

A friend may need to hold!

Materials:

 hard boiled egg(s)


 wax crayons (the waxier the better... in this case cheap crayons are better than
crayolas)
 Easter Egg dye:  store bought dye or home made

Instructions:

 Draw pictures or designs with wax crayon.  Even white wax crayon will be useful
for this project.
 
 Dip in dye.
 
 Let dry.
 
 The dye won't soak through the crayon!  I find cheap crayons work best for this
project (crayolas don't have quite enough wax in them though they do work ok).
 
 An adult may need to help hold the egg while the child draws their pictures on it...
at least the first time until they get the hang of it.
3. Sticker Easter Eggs

Materials:

 hard boiled egg(s)


 store bought dye (food coloring + vinegar works well!)
 stickers (dots, stars holes or any other sticker with a nice shape... we'll be throwing
away the stickers and just using the shape of them)

Egg 1:  Dyed red, added stickers, dyed blue, then removed stickers
Egg 2:  Put stickers on white egg, dyed purple, then removed stickers
Egg 3:  Dyed yellow, added stickers, dyed green, then removed stickers

Instructions:

 Mix dye according to package directions.

 apply small, simple stickers to the eggs (dots work well).   


Make sure you push the stickers down firmly.
 
 Dye egg as normal.
 
 Don't forget that you can double dip your eggs into a variety of different colors,
before or after you remove the stickers.

 
4. Fingerprinted Easter Eggs
For children who like to be a bit more creative, these fingerprinted
Easter eggs allow for lots of options!

Materials:

 hard boiled egg(s)


 tempra paint
 Easter Egg dye:  store bought dye or home made

Instructions:

 Dye eggs a light base color (such as yellow or pink).


 
 Dip fingers in tempra paint and fingerprint on the eggs.
 
 You can make a fingerprint bunny (thumbprint head with two pinky print ears) or
just cover the egg with fingerprint "jellybeans".
 
 A heart can also be fingerprinted by putting on one print and then slightly
overlapping a second print

 A flower can be fingerprinted by printing a swirl of 6 pinkie prints in a circle for the
flower and printing a heart below the flower (leaves).  The use a paint brush or the
tip of your finger to draw a thin stem connecting the two
5. Splatter Painted Easter Eggs

Materials:

 hard boiled egg(s)


 tempra paint
 old toothbrush
 Easter Egg dye:  store bought dye or home made

Instructions:

 Get your smocks on!


 
 Dye the eggs normally.
 
 Now take tempra paint in a contrasting color or straight food color drops and dip a
toothbrush in them.
 
 Using your finger or a pencil, run over the bristles of the toothbrush to splatter the
egg.
 
 This is a very messy project, so prepare the area accordingly!
