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:

bullethard boiled egg(s)
bulletwax crayons (the waxier the better... in this case cheap crayons are better than crayolas)
bulletEaster Egg dye:  store bought dye or home made

Directions:

bulletDraw pictures or designs with wax crayon.  Even white wax crayon will be useful for this project.  
  
bulletDip in dye.  
  
bulletLet dry.  
  
bulletThe 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).
  
bulletAn 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.
