Scribbled Eggs

When it comes to decorating Easter eggs with young kids, I’m always looking for easy and different options. I discovered that scribbling on still-warm hardboiled eggs with a crayon makes for a cool design and vibrant color…

Here's the thing -- be sure to work with hardboiled eggs while they are still warm; the crayon melts onto the eggshell. Just grab a few crayons and start scribbling!

Kids of all ages can do this and it's far less messy than the traditional method.

    I usually use a white crayon then dip them in the colors, this is a great alternative and very clean! Thank you!

    Very cool idea! I am impressed by your perfectly random squiggles.
    I also used to use a white crayon, but I think my three year old will like using colorful crayons. Especially since lately she wants everything to be rainbow.

    Thanks for the idea!
