Colored Eggshell Art


I'm sure lots of you will be hard boiling and coloring eggs this week so here is a fun art project to do with some extra eggs.

Hard boil 2-3 extra eggs. When dying, peel the shell off the egg first, then drop the pieces of shell in the dye to get color on both sides. This helped with Bug since she's a toddler and didn't have to worry about gluing the wrong side down.

Once you have your shells dyed {I used water, a cap full of vinegar and food coloring since we did this before egg dying time}, let them dry then crack them into smaller pieces. 


You can glue onto cardboard, card stock or any other heavy type paper. We took an empty cereal box and cut an egg shape out of it. Glue on your eggshells and let it dry. 


After it's dry you may want to gently shake it over the garbage to get those shells that didn't quite get glued on so well off. {Warning: you may still have a few spare shells falling off here and there.}


 There you have it! I hope you give it a try with your little one! As always, feel free to share your projects on my Facebook wall if you do!
