Natural Egg Dye
Saucepans, 1 for each color
Water, 1/2 C. for each saucepan
Various food and plant items
Strainer
Hard boiled or blown eggs
Cooking oil
Soft cloth
Pour half a cup of water into each saucepan and cut-up fruit, vegetables, or plants (try carrots blueberries, grass, and coffee). Bring to a boil and simmer until the water turns the color you want. Remove from heat and strain; reserve the water. When the water cools, add eggs and allow to sit in the water until they turn the desired color. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to air dry. Polish dry eggs with a small amount of cooling oil and a soft cloth.
Marble Eggs
Grater
Wax paper or newspaper
Crayon stubs
Large Glass Jar
Hot water
Hard-boiled or blown eggs
Slotted spoon
Empty egg carton
Clear acrylic spray (optional)
Grate peeled crayon stubs over wax paper or newspaper. Fill a large glass jar with very hot water. Drop pinches of grated crayon into the water and add an egg as soon as the crayon begins to melt. Twirl the egg in the water with a slotted spoon; the wax will make a design on the egg. Carefully remove the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and set it in an upside-down egg carton to dry. Spray with clear acrylic spray when the wax is dry, if desired.
