Boil, Boil, Boil your eggs first.  Did I mention boiling the eggs?  Should you not, the yolks may become hard, dry and green-tinged.  This makes for a very ugly egg, so boil these to begin with.

When coloring your egg, you can buy a coloring kit or make your own with food coloring.  It depends on how adventurous you are and how much time you have.

To start with, cover the table utilizing plastic or paper so the dyes will not stain the wood.  You shouldn't forget you have to have one cup for each color, additional if you are planning on mixing colors with each other.  Immediately after you paint the first coat, allow the egg ample amounts of time to dry prior to adding a second coat or layout to the egg.  Unfilled egg cartons can be used for drying or a dish rack in which you place plates out to dry out.  Paper towels and rubber gloves are suggested, but they can help with getting less stain all over the table and the kids.

After they are dry, apply design or second coat of color.  If using design, find a myriad of unique stamps or stencils, flowers, pieces of wire, leaves, pine cones, and a lot of color.  Make sure no two eggs are identical.  The vibrant colors of the eggs represent the sunshine of spring.  Help make your eggs sparkle with glitter or other shiny beads.   Some kids like to color or design on a piece of paper and then cover the egg in the paper.  It really is up to your own creativity in regards to what that you can do with your egg.

Right after you get them crafted, let them dry completely and then hang them on your tree or get them hid in setting up for Easter.  Store them away properly for use with next year's fabulous handy work.
