Instructions:

To prepare for this activity, you will want to hard boil your eggs and allow them to completely cool. If there is any water or moisture on the outside of your eggs you will want to pat them dry.

Once your eggs are hard boiled, cool, and dry you are ready to begin!

Paint the egg black. You may need about three coats of paint to get it completely covered and have a nice, thick layer of paint. Allow the egg to completely dry.

Using one of the pieces of sponge, dab a little bit of royal blue paint onto the egg.

While the blue paint is still wet, use another piece of sponge to dab teal on top of the blue.

Next, use another piece of sponge to dab pink paint on top of the blue and teal.

Finally, use the gold paint to highlight.

Let the eggs dry completely.

Warning! This last part can get a little messy. You may want to do it inside of a cardboard box or shoe box to minimize the mess.

Mix the white paint with one or two drops of water. Dip the tooth brush into the mixture.

Flick the bristles of the tooth brush so that the white paint splatters onto the egg. Repeat until the desired effect is achieved.

Let the eggs dry completely overnight.
