Decorating eggs


Taking a chance by putting all our eggs in one basket!
.
On Saturday, the Podlings and I dyed and decorated some eggs to use for a colourful centrepiece for our Easter table. Using stickers instead of paints and pens allowed the Podlings to get creative and make beautiful eggs without creating a lot of mess. They had a lot of fun and clean up took no time at all. A win/win situation!
.
First, dye your eggs. We boiled ours for five minutes in a saucepan of water, vinegar and food colouring. For some reason our attempt at green eggs failed miserably, but our other colours turned out fine.
.
Allow the eggs to cool
.
Let the Podlings loose with sheets of stickers
.
Show off your masterpiece
