From: I love the look of marbled Easter eggs and decided to try our marbled paper technique to create them.
Material:
- Wooden eggs. [UPDATE: Julie reported that this works with hard boiled eggs as long as you dip them in vinegar first, although others have had mixed results.] (We got our wooden ones from Hobby Lobby, but I couldn’t find a link. Oriental Trading Company sells something similar.)
- Shaving cream.
- 3 or 4 Different colors of liquid water colors (or food coloring).
- Jelly roll pan or disposable backing tray.
- A paintbrush, un-sharpened pencil or something similar to swirl the colors.
- Tongs.
- Cookie cooling rack.
- Cookie sheet or something to go under the cooling rack and catch paint drips.
- Paper towels.
- A towel to clean up messes.
- A smock or bib for your tot.
- Sealing Spray (Optional)
Procedure:
- Set your cooling rack on top of your cookie sheet.
- Fill the bottom of the baking tray with shaving cream.
- Sprinkle several drops of each color of liquid water colors on the shaving cream.
- Let your tot use the end of the paintbrush to gently swirl the colors together. Don’t swirl too much or the colors will not be as bright.
- When the colors are swirled, have your tot place an egg in the pan.
