Helpful Tip:
To get the fun under way, first boil your eggs for 15 minutes and then let them cool completely. Protect your work area with newspaper and set out the supplies needed for each technique.
How to make it
1. To put your prints to work, pour a bit of acrylic paint onto a paper plate. Dip your thumb or finger into the paint, dab off any excess, then press it against the egg.
2. Let the paint dry completely before adding details with a fine-point permanent marker.
