Marbled Easter Eggs

This is our favorite way to decorate eggs. They are beautiful and so much fun! We started by giving each kid a square of foil with the edges turned up. Then each child got to pile on a lot of shaving cream. I didn't get photos of that this year. Sorry!

They each picked 2 colors of food coloring and put drops around the shaving cream. He picked red and yellow of course.

Here she is dripping blue and green.

Then they take a straw and drag it through making swirls and designs.

This is one of the most fun parts.

Still going - you can see some really cool patterns here.

 He preferred the swirl technique.

The messy part is rolling the eggs in it and then lifting them off. They need to sit for at least 24 hours to dry. With the left overs, the kids pushed a sheet of paper on the top to make marbled paper.

 The three set aside are the final eggs. After 24 hours, we gently wiped off the excess and this is what was left. Beautiful and fun!
