Concentrating on her technique
Our Jackson Pollock-inspired Easter eggs (Lily's left; mine right)
We experimented with a lot of different decorating techniques this year. This one involved acrylic paint applied to crumpled aluminum foil which was then wrapped around the egg. Lily probably liked this technique the best, but I would not recommend acrylic paint for really young kids since it is not a washable paint.
I thought this decorating idea was genius due to its simplicity and use of things you already have (and no mess!) After you boil the eggs, you simply use crayons to decorate the warm eggs. The wax melts onto the shell and makes it really easy to create fun designs. It is also more fun than just dipping them into dye and having to wait forever for the dye to take.
The eggs I made for Lily & William
Lily really wanted to make animal critters out of Easter eggs, so we used plastic eggs to make a few. Lily set this up so that the dog is chasing the cat, and the cat is chasing the mouse. :)
