This is where you and your children can have fun. Place the food coloring droplets sporadically throughout the shaving cream. The more food coloring you add, the stronger the pigment will be on your eggs. You can decide to use all of the colors like we did, or keep your color palette to one or two colors. Do what your creative heart desires!
As you can see, my son had a lot of fun with this part.
Step 4: Once you add the food coloring take the plastic knife, and start to run the colors together to create a swirl effect. You can choose to skip this step if you want a splotchy affect.
Step 5: Once you have achieved the desired color mixture, put your gloves on and roll the paper mache egg into the solution.Set the covered egg onto the kraft paper.
Step 7: Carefully pat the egg with a paper towel to remove the rest of the shaving cream from the egg. Be careful not to add too much pressure since the paper eggs are wet from the shaving cream.
Step 8: Repeat the steps over until you have added the marbled
affect
to the rest of the eggs.
Step 9: Let your eggs rest and dry. They will take about an hour to dry.
Step 10: Once your eggs are dry, you can fill your eggs with treats or simply enjoy them for their unique beauty!
