Trace an egg shape onto white construction paper and cut on the outline. Using crayons, draw and color an Easter scene on the cutout. Also add other decorative lines with crayon. Brush on a water-and-food-coloring wash (one cup water to four or five drops food coloring) to cover the entire egg cutout. If desired, use several different colors of wash on the egg.
SHINY EASTER EGGS
Mix sweetened condensed milk and food coloring to create several colors of paint. Paint this mixture onto giant eggs cut from 12 x 18 sheets of construction paper. These eggs created will produce a glistening effect.
