Materials

  • Liquid watercolors  or food coloring
  • Hard-boiled eggs 
  • Q-tips
  • Small cups or a foam egg carton

Instructions

  • Squeeze a few drops of liquid watercolors into a styrofoam egg carton or small cups. You can even mix colors to make new shades.
  • Have your child use a q-tip to dip in various shades of liquid watercolors and dot them on the hard-cooked eggs.
  • Allow the eggs to dry.

Notes

  • The easiest way to do this Easter activity is to use a foam egg carton. It has compartments for various shades of liquid watercolors and can hold the eggs while dyed and drying.
  • One tip that we discovered was to blot the q-tip on a paper towel after dipping it in the liquid watercolors. This prevents the watercolors from dripping and making a mess.
