\"IMG_6849\"<\/a>I can’t eggsplain how eggcited I am to finally share all the eggstraordinary ways we eggsperimented with eggs this Easter. I should stop with the egg puns but there are so many ovum. Onwards and upwards!<\/p>\n

First off, we dyed some eggs using natural ingredients with our Waldorf group. We used red cabbage, beet, blueberry, turmeric, and onion skins. We used white and brown eggs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6812\"<\/a>We tied rubber bands on some to make designs.<\/p>\n

We also used a brush dipped in a runny egg mixture to paste some herbs onto some eggs, covered them with pantyhose, and boiled them in onion skins. Once dried, you can scratch off the herbs.<\/p>\n

At home, we used liquid watercolor to dye some except I didn’t fill the container all the way up so it left a white spot on each egg. Next, I used a marker to draw a border around the white part and let the kids draw their masterpieces.<\/p>\n

We also did some projects at Conner Prairie<\/a>, a wonderful historical museum with a lot of hands on activities. In one activity, they drew with markers on a cut-out egg shaped paper. Then the lady shaved some chalk into a water bin and placed their creations on the surface. The paper picked up a lot of the chalk shavings and gave it a nice texture.<\/p>\n

Another activity they did that the kids enjoyed was a collage using tiny pieces of cloth.<\/p>\n

We also made some cascarones. Usually the hole that the confetti goes in is covered by a piece of tissue paper but I just placed a sticker on the opening and it was fine. Good times.<\/p>\n
