Looking for a way to decorate easter eggs with your kids that doesn't involve messy bowls of dye? Here is a fun an easy way to decorate eggs using crayons!
Simply boil your eggs on the stove and when they are cooked pull them out and place them back in the carton.
While they are still hot take a crayon and draw all over the egg. The heat from the egg will melt the waxy crayon and create interesting designs all over the egg.
If you like you can dip them in egg dye after for
even more color!
Be careful, the eggs are very hot when they are taken out of the boiling water so make sure your kids know not to touch the hot eggs. You may want to reserve this craft for older kids who won't accidentally burn themselves.
