A friend of mine posted a cool egg coloring technique on my page so I had give it a try. I bought shaving cream and food dye and after boiling a dozen eggs we got to work. Basically you fill a shallow pan with shaving cream then drop some food coloring into it.
You swirl (not mix) the colors around and together then roll the egg through the cream. It was a very messy craft and a little difficult to figure out exactly how to do it but we tried our best.
Once you have rolled the egg you leave them as is with all the cream all over it until it dries then you wipe them off and you have "marbled eggs". I was a little skeptical of how well they would turn out but in the end they look pretty good. The girls got a little crazy with mixing instead of swirling so some of their eggs are just one color instead of designed. They are happy with them though so that is all that really matters. I
think next time we will use less cream and try to swirl a little better to get the eggs colored completely to eliminate the white areas.
