Happy Easter

C and R had a lot of fun decorating eggs for Easter.  We used three different decorating techniques this year.

First, they used crayons to color on very hot eggs.  The eggs looked really pretty as the crayon melted on them.

Here are C's melted crayon decorated eggs:

These are the eggs R decorated with the crayons:

The second technique was painting using this kit we purchased last year.  The paint was easy to use and the colors were so bright.

Here are the eggs that R painted:

These are the eggs painted by C:

For the last few eggs, C and R dipped bleeding art tissue paper in water and layered the paper over the eggs.

We also used a spray bottle to mist the eggs with water once the tissue paper was in place. 

When the tissue paper was dry, they peeled it off the eggs to reveal beautiful colors.  I think they were both happiest with the end result of this technique!

These are the eggs C made with the bleeding art tissue paper:

R made these eggs and she loved them so much that she wanted to sleep with them!!!

We had a lot of fun decorating eggs this year.  I love trying new techniques!  Have a wonderful Easter!
