DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids

Crayon Easter Eggs

This project combines a child's artistic skills with regular Easter egg dying techniques.  You can use store bought dye or the home made variety.

A friend may need to hold!

Materials:

  • hard boiled egg(s)
  • wax crayons (the waxier the better... in this case cheap crayons are better than crayolas)
  • Easter Egg dye:  store bought dye or home made

Directions:

  • Draw pictures or designs with wax crayon.  Even white wax crayon will be useful for this project.  
      
  • Dip in dye.  
      
  • Let dry.  
      
  • The dye won't soak through the crayon!  I find cheap crayons work best for this project (crayolas don't have quite enough wax in them though they do work ok).
      
  • An adult may need to help hold the egg while the child draws their pictures on it... at least the first time until they get the hang of it.
