Egg Decorating
A classic Easter activity that suits all ages, plus a great way to use up eggs before making omelettes for dinner.
You will need: eggs, a bowl, kitchen towel, paints, decorative materials, string, a pin, and a long needle.
- Wash the eggs and dry them.
- Use a sharp pin or needle to pierce a hole in both ends of the egg.
- Hold the egg over a bowl, place your mouth over the top hole, and blow—the egg will come out of the bottom.
- Once empty, wipe off any residue and decorate using paint, glitter, stickers, or anything creative.
- Thread some string through the egg and hang them up for festive Easter décor.
