Egghead


You take three eggs and hardboil one and leave two raw. Put them in a bowl, have someone pick one out and smash it over their head. If they get the hardboiled one out of three people, they get a prize.
Thanks go toJim for this potentially messy idea!!

Math Egg Hunt


Hide plastic eggs with numbers in them, ranging from maybe 1 to 5 then, limit the children to how many they can find, like maybe 6 or something, then . . . after they're all found, total up the numbers that are in their eggs and the one with the highest number wins a prize. I'm going to have plastic eggs with candy in them too, so that everybody will end up with something.
Thanks go to Toni for this twist to the traditional egg hunt!

Kids Egg Hunt


Ttake 5 to10 eggs and hide them inside for kids to find. The kid who has most eggs at the end wins.
Thanks go to young Kayana for this idea!

Indoor Egg Hunt


Is rain going to ruin your Easter egg hunt? Just hide jelly beans inside the house and have your adults or kids hunt for them. Depending on the age of the participants you can make the hunt easy or hard. Ever try and see a black jelly bean on a black object? Have fun!!
Thanks go to an annoymous submitter for this idea!

Reverse Egg Hunt


You could have your children make at least five eggs each and hide them around the house.When they are done hiding them, the parents could look for them. I hope this is a great idea.
Thanks go to Elizabeth for this clever idea!

Teenagers Egg Hunt


I have been trying to come up with an egg hunt for my 2 teenagers so this year my husband and I are planning a savager hunt for our kids. When they get up Easter morning there will be a clue on the table and they have to start from there. It will be several clues hid. At the end of the hunt I have them a giant egg with candy and of course money a teenager's favorite thing. It will be a long and hard look so it will take a little time. If it's too easy it won't be any fun. For example the first clue will be a poem letting them know the next clue is in the mailbox.
Thanks go to Trudy for this unique idea!

Easter Guessing Game


Every year I take a jar filled with various types of easter eggs, jelly beans, malted, choclate etc. I count them as I fill the jar add a $5 bill at the top and tape it shut. I leave a piece of paper next to the jar and everyone guesses how many are in the jar...even grandma & grandpa. The person who is the closest without going over is the winner. They win the jar, eggs and the $5. Fun for all.
Thanks go to Carlene Hannon for this fun idea!

Easter Memory


You paint one side of the egg a color, or even a shape. you hide it in the grass, with the color side facing the ground. the players have to remember what color is where, just like the game memory (sometimes called consentration) have fun!
Thanks go to Lynsi Hansen for this neat idea!

Egg Relay Race


The way you play this game is to have at least 15 kids and/or adults.If you were playing with 15 people you would need 5 hard-boiled eggs because there are 3 people on a team and you get the point.Well,you put the egg on the spoon and run with it to the next person in the line(you need to put the three people in a line about 10 to 15 feet apart.)If you drop the egg then you have to go back to YOUR starting point and run with it again.
Whoever wins gets the desired prize of the person who is responsible for holding the race.There are first,second, and third places.I've played this at my school since second grade,I'm in sixth now, and it's been more delightful every time I play it!!
Thanks go to Scott for this run relay!

Egg Hunt


Each year I have an easter egg hunt for the smaller kids in the family. In order to keep things some what fair...I hide dozens of plasic eggs empty. Once the kids find all the eggs they turn them in for a special bag of goodies. It doesn't matter how many or how few of eggs the kids find...they all get the same amount of goodies. This really prevents them from getting upset at the end of the hunt if a cousin happens to find more eggs than another because they all know they will still get the same amount of treats. .
Thanks go to Christina for this Hunt idea!

Egg Roll


Here is another easter game my children love. We also do this at our church's childrens egg hunt. Mark off a start and stop point anywhere from 5 to 10 feet apart. Using a hard boiled egg ( can be decorated or plain) have the kids down on hands and knees. Roll the egg across the floor using only there noses. The first one to the finish line without touching the egg with their hands is the grand champion nose roller.
Thanks go an anonymous submitter for this different idea!

Nighttime Egg Hunt


We have an Easter Egg Hunt in the dark with flashlights for adults.
We have been doing it for the past five years and it's a blast!
Thanks go an anonymous submitter for this different idea!

Easter Fairness


Each year my family hosts a GIANT Easter egg hunt for the children at our church. Since ages range from toddlers to 5th or 6th grade we have come up with a way that is fair for all. Each child is asked to bring 12 plastic Easter eggs filled with goodies. After the eggs are hidden, the children are told that when they've found 12, to come sit down until everyone has found that many. When all the children have found that amount, we send them out to find the rest (I always provide about 50 extra.) The kids have a great time and everyone goes home happy!
Thanks go to Teresa J. Wallace. for this great suggestion!

Capture the Egg


You might have heard of "capture the flag" this is just the Easter vesion. Divide a group of kids into two groups. Each team has four eggs.They place the eggs on the gound in a row and then run to the other teams side and try to take there eggs back to their side without getting touched.
If they do get touched they have to stand still until one of their teammates can free them by touching them on the shoulder.
Thanks go to Katy for this fun idea!

Easter Fun Hunt


First you paint however many eggs you want to then leave one blank [ no paint on it] and not boiled then hwo ever finds it has to pass it back and forth to every body. you don't pass it in a circle the person who finds it has to pass to one person then back to him or herthen pass it to someone else thats my Easter game!
Thanks go to June for this idea

Easter Egg Hunt


Every other year I have an Easter Egg hunt at my Grandma's house. Every child who comes to her house for Easter has their own special spot to find eggs. I usualy have to look at a nearby park. Some of my cousins have to search one of the neighbors yards. Then we come into the house and count the money that's hidden in the eggs!! Sometimes their are sheets of paper that you can hand in for a gift!
Thanks go to Sara Perronne age 11 for this idea

Easter Egg Money Hunt


All you do is paint eggs so they look like money then you hid them and then people find them like an Easter egg hunt and after they find them they trade them in for prizes.
Thanks go to 11 year old Chelsea for this idea

Easter Fairness


Every year my mother has a basket for each of us and to keep people from taking eggs that aren't theirs my mom has a different colour for each of us to find. Eg. yellow for my sister, green for my brother. And because I don't like pure chocolate my mom hides candy caramels instead! It works and there is never a fight. Besides you can trade hints about where a sibling saw one of your eggs so you don't get stuck.
Thanks to an anonymous sender of this idea!

Easter Hat Parade


Give everyone a white baseball cap.(can be found at any craft store) Give many materials such as ribbon,elastic,colored fabric,etc...... then,after they're done have them walk in a sort of parade to show off their Easter hats
*Optional-have judges to pick winners such as prettiest,scariest,most original and so on.
Thanks to Danielle for this neat idea

Bunny Tag


I have a game we use to play its called bunny tag and you play it like this: you pick a person to be it and everybody hops around ....if you run your atomically it. Have fun this Easter.
Great game idea! Thanks Tybithie who is 11 years old

Golden Easter Egg


One of the best egg hunts my kids will tell anyone about is when mom hides one glittery gold Easter egg with a dollar in it. The kids had fun. It was not expensive and the winner of the golden egg is a real delight. I always tell my kids that the younger ones get the eggs in plain view and the older ones must look harder. They also have a limit to how many they can find this way all get their fair share.
Thanks Debbie for this Golden idea

Bunny, Bunny, Hop....


This game is just like duck duck goose, with 2 changes.
1. Obviously, the words change to "bunny" as you tap each child, and "hop" when one child is selected.
2. Instead of running around the circle, players hop with their feet together.
We found these results to be more fun than duck duck goose. When you start with a great original game which kids already know and like, it doesn't take much to explain the new rules and see their excitement soar! We played this with 6th graders and kindergarten buddies together and they loved it!
Great idea!! Thanks Barbara T. and Corrie B

Matching Game


As a Kindergarten teacher I use this game for all holidays.
Depending on the number of children it takes 10-20 minutes.
For Halloween I print the children's names on pumpkins and hide the pumpkins all around the room. I give them one with their name printed on it for them to use as a model. Early in the school year this is enough of a challenge!
At Christmas I do it again using trees or stars. This time I give them a letter and they have to find five more that match. Sometimes I give them the lower case and they have to find the upper case matches.
For Valentine's Day I give them 2 and 3 digit numbers in varying sequences. I always give them one as a reference and they have to find the others to match.
By Easter they are really good at how to play the game. I hide egg shaped paper with letters all over the room. On the egg that I give them for reference it has one word e.g. Spring or Easter. They have to find the six letters that spell Spring and put them in the correct order. I have also used this for a unit on spiders where they find the letters to spell spider.
I have always found that they love this game and have even used it for my nephew's birthday parties. When hiding 42 sets of letters for my double Kindergarten class, I make piles of complete class sets to hide so I don't end up hiding all one child's eggs at one end of the room. After they have shown me their complete set they help a friend to find theirs.
Give it a try! It works, it's fun, it's educational and it works off excess energy on special days! Thanks to Fiona for this wonderful game!

Egg Toss


No Easter games can be complete without a round of egg toss.
People pair-off and face each other at a starting line. each pair is given one egg. An official blows a whistles (or shouts some appropriate term), and each person takes a large step backwards. The person in each pair with the egg tosses it to the person without. When all couples have completed their toss, the official signals for a second round and the process repeats (large step backward, toss, pause, etc, etc).
If a couple does not successfully complete its toss, and the egg has not broken, they return to the starting line. If it breaks, they're out. The couple that's left in the end (presumably far away from the starting line) wins.
Use raw eggs for maximum excitement. Game is best with at least five couples. Thanks go to Jamie Ecker for this submission!

Egg Crazy!!


Dye 10 eggs.Then boil for seven minutes. The person who cracks and eats the most wins.
This simple but fun game comes from a student in Pulaski, Tennessee

Easter Egg Hunt


I love Easter Egg Hunts! The only problem is that usually one kid gets a ton of candy and some kids hardly get any. I think it should be fun for everybody.
My sister in-law has a great idea that really works. She puts out an equal number of eggs for each participant, with their names written on them. This way nobody has to run over others grabbing in that traditional "greedfest" attitude.
I am trying something new this year with the hunt at our church. We are explaining that Jesus Christ gave his life, and Easter can be a time of giving--so in our hunt we will tell the children to find a treat for their own basket, then find one for someone else. This will repeat itself until the hunt is over. I have also gone to a hunt where a few adults with bags of candy walked around sneaking candy into empty baskets.
Great thoughts from an anonymous emailer - thanks!

Chocolate Egg Hunt


An adult can hide chocolate eggs in grass. Then, the children have to find them. The child who finds a chocolate egg with a number or sticker on it wins a prize. Also, whoever finds the most eggs gets a prize too.
Thanks go to Jessica for this idea!

Egg Hunt


Great game for kids and big kids too!
Purchase plastic Easter eggs and put numbers in them. Each number should correspond to a gift for the Adults. Have the children hide the plastic eggs for their Parents.
Plastic eggs with numbers can also be hidden by the parents for the children with numbers that correspond to children's prizes.
Thanks to Patsy for this great idea!

Duck Pond



Put plastic ducks in water and the children pull out a duck and get the prize associated with that duck. You could put numbers or shapes on the bottom of the ducks.

Barnyard


Each child is given the name of an animal with three children having the same name. No one is allowed to tell another which animal he is. At the signal each child makes the noise of the animal that he has been given. The first group of three animals to find each other and sit down are the winners.

Spoon Walk


Put an egg (can also use a marshmallow) on a spoon and walking across an area; make an obstacle course if you like. Can also play where you have to pass it to a partner to go back to the beginning is fun. If the egg is dropped, you have to start over. Grown ups have to put the spoon in their mouths.
You can also play hide and seek: all of the people who are hiding must balance an object on a spoon as they dash for a hiding spot. If it falls, that's where they have to hide.

Animal Relay


The players form two lines with equal numbers on each team. The first animal on each team is an animal, the second a different animal. On the word"go", the first person acts like the animal they represent, run, hop or crawl to a given place and back. The next person then acts like their animals and so on until one team is finished and sitting down. Use animals such as kangaroos, bunnies, dogs, cats etc... Bean Bag Relays - Walk/run/hop with bag on head/between knees/between feet. Leap Frog - Well...... You know.

Duck races


Players line up on a start line. At the signal, they must all bend over and grasp their ankles. The first one to waddle to the finish line without letting go of their ankles, wins.

Adult fun too!

It's always fun to watch the kids hunt for Easter Eggs but have you ever saw a bunch of adults act like children. Or should I say have as much fun. My mom started this a few years back and boy do we ever look forward now more so for Easter. Except what the meaning really is. Anyway she puts money into the plastic eggs, anywhere from a couple dollars up to five or ten. Then her and dad go hide them. Let the adults go and watch them act as children again.
Thanks to an anonymous sender for this adult version

 

Here are some fun things to do and make this Easter!

Bunny Bags

Take a brown or white lunch bag cut a v out of the top with construction paper cut out ears and glue on to the top of bag make whiskers and draw a face or make one and put a handle at the top and instead of children carrying a big easter basket they can carry around there homemade bag

Easter Baskets

I did this craft with a group of children ages 4-8 years old. They LOVED IT!!!!!!!

The garbage bags make great paint smocks when your in a pinch. Simply cut a slit in the top large enough for the child's head, measure where their arms would be and cut two slits for the arm holes and HEY! You have instant paint smocks!! We saved ours, but you can toss yours its up to you.

Give each child a basket, and a paint brush. Scatter the paint colours and the rinse water cups around the table to encourage sharing and conversation.

The kids had a ball painting the baskets any way they wanted. They were so expressive with their ideas!! It was a wonderful art experience for them.

They were very proud of their work and were so excited when they saw how each basket was different from the rest.

Give each child some Easter grass to line their baskets. If you wish you might give each child a few Easter Eggs for their baskets. BE SURE TO CHECK FOR ALLERGIES!!!!

***NOTE** Extension***
Have some sponge and/or potato stamps on hand for the children to try. These make an interesting design on the baskets and the children have a lot of fun trying this.

Try adding a little liquid dish detergent to the paint it will keep the poster paint frm staining the children's clothes.

Easter Baskets

This is a project I tried last year at school. We took 2 liter soda bottles and made them into Easter Baskets, The ways to decorate is endless. Hope you have has much fun as we did.
I measured up about 5" and cut the bottle, we also left 2 pieces about 1" wide for the handle.

Easter Placemats

Gather up Easter cards from past years, pictures from magazines or your children's favorite drawings. Glue onto light cardboard or construction paper in decorative fashion the size of a placemat.

Cover this collage with clear contact paper to seal the placemat. Be sure to have your child date and sign it.

These make great gifts for grandparents.


Easter Grass

Grow a miniature meadow in an Easter basket it's real simple. A week before Easter line a large Easter basket with plastic wrap and fill with vermiculite (about 2-inches deep). Sprinkle wheat seed on top of the vermiculite. Put the basket in the sink and add water until the seed bed is damp. You shouldn't have to water it again before Easter.

Set the basket in a pan and place in filtered sunlight. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clear plastic bag to keep moist. Remove the plastic after two days. The wheat should begin to sprout during the next few days. By Easter morning you would have real Easter grass to hide your eggs in.


Woven baskets

Using one piece of paper cut horizontal straight lines about one inch in from side to side across paper, about 1/2 inch a part from each other. The paper should be covered from top to bottom with these slits.

Next take the other color of paper and cut 1/2 strips. Weave these strips in and out of the slits in the first paper.

When completed with all the strips glue the ends of the strips to the first paper to hold in place. Next fold up the sides to make a basket shape. Staple or glue in place. With a contrasting color make a handle on your basket and staple or glue.

Basket can then be filled with shredded paper to make a nest in the bottom.


Easter Baskets

Here is a craft my grandmother used in her classroom of first graders for many years.

You'll need:

Close the top of the empty carton. Position the carton on its side with the top closed edge vertical. Then on the side which is facing up, cut along the two long edges and the bottom edge. Hold flap up slightly and cut it to form two rabbit ears pointing away from the pointed end of carton.

Cover the entire outer part of the carton with cotton balls including the ears. Use a small piece of yarn to make outline of pink for the inner ear. Use buttons or whatever you chose to make eyes and nose on the pointed end of the carton. Place extra cotton balls for tail. Fill carton with Easter grass and candy.

Nora


Bunny Mask

Using the paper plate, cut out eyes and nose in the plate. Cut out bunny ears from pink paper and glue to the plate. Use pipe cleaners to make whiskers, attach to plate by poking through and knotting at back, or glue on. Use yarn to tie to either side of plate to tie on your little one's head.


Chicks in a basket

Dip one large cotton ball in yellow dye diluted with water. Let dry. Cut egg carton so you have one section. Place a bit of shredded paper (color optional) in bottom of section. When yellow cotton ball is dry draw eyes on top to make eyes. Cut out very small triangle of orange paper and glue on yellow cotton ball to make chicks beak. Sit chick in carton section to make the chick in the basket.

Note: Many people have commented that the cotton balls - once dyed - will not dry - or take forever - anyone out there have any suggestions on correcting this?

Great Tip!! The best way to dye cotton balls is to put them in a Zip lock bag with dry tempra paint. Place the cotton balls in the Zip-lock bag with a few spoons of dry tempra paint. Shake the bag to coat the cotton balls. Remove the cotton balls from the zip lock bag and shake off the excess paint. This works great. I hope this tip will help.
This tip from Bookgirl

Another idea! For the cottonball to be dyed yellow, wipe off some powdered yellow pastels/chalks with the cotton ball. See if this could work.

NOTE: This great tip just came in:
The people who are having trouble getting the dye to dry on their cotton balls are using synthetic (not really cotton) cotton balls. The real cotton, usually called cotton bolls (with an o) will dry perfectly. They should say 100% cotton on the bag. This is the kind I always buy because they are gentler on your skin.

Another Tip: I've found if you use yellow high lighters (preferrably washable markers) they work a lot easier than having the children use paint or dye, because the marker dries immediately!
From a.......male Kindergarten Teacher
Thanks go to ...... Radhika Mohan for the original idea

ANOTHER TIP Several people have let it be known that cotton balls now come in pastal colors and are much easier to use then making your own colored balls!! Thanks


Paper plate bunny

Using paper plates, glue small one to top of large one to form head and body. Cut out bunny ears from pink paper. Glue or staple to head.Draw eyes and nose on face of plate with crayons or markers. Glue a cotton ball on the back for a tail.


Easter Bunny Ears

Cut out bunny ears with the white and pink paper (pink should be slightly smaller) or use two tones of brown for a chocolate bunny. Glue the pink on white to make ears. (or brown). Make a 2-inch band long enough to go around your child's head. Staple in place. Attach bunny ears to band.


Belly Bunny

Here is an Easter idea I used to make with my Mom as a kid and plan to make with my daughter when she is older.

Need:

A grown-up should cut the bottom of the Styrofoam ball just enough so it will sit flat on the table. Then have the kids draw and cut out black, blue, brown, or green eyes, (if you want them to match your child's eyes), white bunny ears with pink ear insides (both ears should be cut so the bottom of the ear is cut straight across), and a pink nose.

Glue a cotton ball in the center of the Styrofoam ball (nose) then glue the small pink nose to the center of the cotton ball. Glue the eyes on to the Styrofoam ball. While the glue is drying take the white bunny ears and the slightly smaller (should be same shape) pink ear insides. Lay the white ears down and glue a tooth pick (or two for more stability) to the front side of the white ear with half of the toothpick/s on the ear and half hanging off the bottom of the ear. Then take and glue the back side of the pink ear on top of the toothpick and white ear. Do this for each ear.

Next glue the Styrofoam ball to the top of the jar lid which can be decorated with a paper doily, markers or whatever you may have. Screw the lid on and whichever way the bunny faces, on the other side glue a cottonball at the bottom of the jar (tail). When the ears dry stick the toothpick, that is hanging out from the bottom of the ears, into the top of the Styrofoam ball. You can tie a ribbon around the edge of the jar lid.

Fill your bunny with jelly beans, or M&M's or a treat like raisin's or dried fruit. The child can take the bunny to school and share their treats with the class. It is really cute and if the child wants to get creative they can decorate the jar with stickers.

After Easter hold crayons, marbles, pencils, etc.

Paper Mache Eggs


Paper mache recipe

Stir this mixture into 5 cups lightly boiling water. Gently boil for 2-3 minutes. Cool until you can dip paper into mixture without burning yourself.


Eggs

Make paper mache paste as above. When cool pour into pie tin. Blow up a balloon and tape to a table. Dip strips of newspaper in paste and place carefully on balloon. Continue overlapping pieces of newspaper on balloon. Cover balloon completely and let dry. It may take overnight to dry, particularly if children have use lots of paste. Once dry decorate the dried balloon with paint or colored tissue in pretty pastel Easter colors. Finish with shellac for a shiny, glazed effect.


Easter parade bonnet

Children can decorate the paper plate any way they wish. Glue on pieces of pastel paper, color flowers on plate, use your imagination. Tie yard to each side of plate so it can be tied under child's chin.

or

Let children decorate a piece of paper. Make hat by folding paper into a cone shape, tape or staple together. Cut bottom so it is even. Staple a length of elastic thread or ribbon on each side to hold hat on.

Bunnies, Ducks and Baskets

Paper plate Bunny Masks:

Paper plate Duck Masks:

same idea as above , but use yellow feathers instead of cotton balls ( also, they don't have to be masks).

Egg carton Mini-Easter Baskets:

We've always done an Easter tree using budding branches from outside, place them in a vase and decorate with homemade or store bought decorations.

Kristin Decatur

Eggshell Mosaic

A great way to use up the remains of the Easter eggs. Children will love breaking up the eggshells.

On a piece of paper have child draw a simple design (e.g. flower, balloon, kite, egg). Spread glue in design area. Sprinkle bits of broken eggshells onto glue. Allow to dry then hang and enjoy.

No-bake craft clay

Add all ingredients in saucepan and stir over medium heat for about 4 minutes.Mixture should be consistency of moist mashed potatoes. Add food coloring if desired.

Remove from heat, turn on a plate and cover with a damp cloth. Let cool. When cool knead like dough. At this point you may store in an airtight container.

For Easter shape clay into egg shapes. Let dry and paint. You may also flatten one side and glue to brooch backs to make Easter jewellery.

 

Egg Decorating

What would be Easter without decorating and coloring eggs? Here are are some homemade dyes you can use and some different decorating ideas:

The eggs

The first thing you need is either hard boiled or blown eggs. If you use hard boiled eggs hey must be kept refrigerated if you intend to eat them Do not eat if they have been left our or painted with acrylic paints. If you want to keep your decorated eggs it is best to use blown eggs. However, blown eggs are much more fragile and harder for young kids to handle.

To make a blown egg poke a small hole in each end of the egg with a large needle. Push needle into egg and twist around to break yoke. Hold the egg over a bowl and blow hard through th hole until the shell is empty. Rinse eggshells well and allow to dry. (save the raw eggs and scramble for breakfast).

Natural dye

Pour 1/2 cup water in each sauce pan. Add cut-up fruit, vegetables or plants (carrots, blueberries, grass, coffee all work well). Bring to a boil and simmer until water turns color you like. Remove from heat and strain reserving water. When water is cool add boiled or blown eggs. Let sit until they turn the desired color. Remove with slotted spoon and allow to dry. Polish with small amount of cooking oil and soft cloth.

Crepe paper dye

Soak crepe paper in hot water in individual bowls or cups for each color. Add eggs and allow to sit in water until he desired color is achieved. Remove with slotted spoon and allow to dry. Polish with small amount of cooking oil and soft cloth.

Food coloring dye

For each color measure 1/4 tsp. food coloring in small bowl. Add 3/4 cup hot water and 1 tbsp. white vinegar to each color. Add eggs and allow to sit until they are the desired color. Remove with slotted spoon. Polish dry eggs with small amount of cooking oil and soft cloth.

Waxed eggs

Draw a heavy crayon patter on hard boiled egg. Dip egg in egg dye preferably a dark color. Leave in dye until desired color is reached. Remove with slotted spoon and place in 200 degree F oven for a few minutes until wax is melted. Wipe with paper towel and dip again in lighter dye to fill in pattern where wax was. Polish finished eggs with cooking oil and soft cloth.

Dip and dye eggs

Stick a pattern of masking tap on plain hard boiled egg. Dip egg in egg dye and leave until desired color is reached. Remove with slotted spoon and air dry. Remove masking ape when dry. Leave masked areas white or dip again in another lighter dye. Polish finished egg with cooking oil and soft cloth.

Marble eggs

Grate peeled crayons over waxed paper. Fill jar with very hot water. Drop bits of grated crayon into water. Add hard boiled or blown egg as soon as crayon begins to melt. Twirl egg in water with spoon. the wax should make a design on the egg. Carefully remove egg and set upside-down in egg carton to dry. Once dry spray with clear acrylic to seal.

Sponge painted eggs

Place hard boiled or blown eggs in egg cups. Partially fill paper cups with different colors of paint. Clip a piece of sponge to a clothes pin and dip into paper cups, use the clothes pin as a handle. Lightly dab the sponge over the top half of the egg. Let dry. Turn egg over and repeat procedure. Let the egg dry completely. If using blown eggs, spray with acrylic spray for a permanent finish.

Commercial shrink wraps

Most retailers now sell plastic shrink wraps for egg decorating. All you do is cut out the wraps. Slip over a hard boiled egg and dip in boiling water. Wrap will shrink onto the eggs. There are several designs available on the market.
