Egg Decorating

A classic Easter activity that suits all ages, plus a great way to use up eggs before making omelettes for dinner.

You will need: eggs, a bowl, kitchen towel, paints, decorative materials, string, a pin, and a long needle.

1. Wash the eggs and dry them.
2. Use a sharp pin or needle to pierce a hole in both ends of the egg.
3. Hold the egg over a bowl, place your mouth over the top hole, and blow—the egg will come out of the bottom.
4. Once empty, wipe off any residue and decorate using paint, glitter, stickers, or anything creative.
5. Thread some string through the egg and hang them up for festive Easter décor.
