Fun Painting Easter Eggs
Why not have some fun this Easter.
Paint some Easter Eggs. You can use various methods like food coloring and vinegar, shaving cream, or even nail polish for a marbled effect, and then decorate with paints, stickers, or ribbons.
Here's a breakdown of different methods and ideas:
1. Traditional Dyeing with Food Coloring:
Preparation: Hard-boil your eggs (or use blown-out eggs for a longer-lasting display).
Dyeing:
Mix food coloring, vinegar (1 teaspoon per cup of water), and water in separate containers for different colors.
Submerge eggs in the colored water for 3-5 minutes, adjusting time for desired color intensity.
Decorating:
Once dry, add details with paint, glitter, stickers, or ribbons.
Use masking tape for straight lines or crayons for resist patterns.
2. Shaving Cream Method:
Preparation: Pour shaving cream into a tray, add food coloring, and swirl with a fork.
Dyeing: Roll eggs in the shaving cream mixture, leave for 10 minutes, and then wipe clean.
3. Nail Polish Method:
Preparation:
Fill a bowl with cold water and add drops of nail polish to create a marbled effect.
Dyeing:
Gently dip eggs into the water, allowing the nail polish to spread and create patterns.
4. Other Decorating Ideas:
Pompom Painting: Use pompoms on pegs to create dots or strokes of paint on egg shapes.
Wooden Eggs: Consider using wooden eggs for a reusable and eco-friendly option.
Natural Earth Paints: Use natural earth paints for a sustainable and colorful option.
Edible Markers: For kids, use edible markers to decorate the eggs.
Bunny Ear Napkins: Create bunny ear napkins by folding napkins and tying them around the eggs.

Hi Neighbours, If you find it’s hard to keep to New Year resolutions you are not alone! Its actually really hard to make sustainable changes in our lives.
Setting your ‘compass’ is easier and more effective. Starting with one small step in the desired destination, taking that first step gets you going. Even a little change of direction, something that only takes a couple of minutes, can lead to significant and sustainable change over time.
