Easter Project

My daughter and I decided to do an Easter project today.  We poked holes in the tops and bottoms of four eggs (you have to do it very, very carefully with a very sharp, small nail or something like that because if you poke too hard, the egg will crack) and blew out the yolk and white (this is actually the hardest part because it takes a lot of pressure to get the insides out).  The eggs were rinsed and dried and then painted with acrylic craft paint.  My daughter really had fun with this.  And the plus is that since they were not boiled or raw, these will last a good while without going bad.

Here are our eggs.  (The unique drying stands were the result of my not thinking far enough ahead to realize we needed something for the eggs to dry on since they couldn't be laid flat.)
