DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Tissue Paper Dyed Easter Eggs
This is the perfect simple project for an Aunt with a fancy house who isn't
used to visiting rugrats or a daycare full of eager toddlers. It's much
less risky (for clothes, furniture and rugs) than setting out bowls of dye
*grin*.

Materials:
 | hard boiled egg(s) |
| squares of tissue paper in many different BRIGHT colors (1 1/2 inch
squares are about right)
 | must be fresh tissue paper... not the old, ratty, recycled 200 times
tissue paper I usually use for crafts *grin* |
|
| Spritzer of water or bowl of water |
Directions:
| spritz or dip egg in water (get it all wet)
|
| pick up squares of tissue paper one at a time and lay around the
egg. Feel free to use different colors and to overlap them.
|
| Spritz with water again if the tissue paper didn't get completely wet.
|
| Set aside in a bowl or margarine container to dry.
|
| When the egg dries, the tissue paper will fall off, but the pretty colors
will stay behind. It gives something of a stained glass look to the
eggs. |
