Materials

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

Instructions

  • Squeeze a couple of drops of liquid watercolors into a styrofoam egg carton or small cups. Mix colors to create 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 completely.

Notes

  • Using a foam egg carton is the easiest way to set up this Easter activity. It holds different shades of liquid watercolors and keeps the eggs secure while they dye and dry. 
  • To avoid messes, blot the Q-tip on a paper towel after dipping it in the watercolors.
