Eggshell Art
Dyed eggshells make beautiful mosaic designs. Have your children wash eggshells and let them dry. Place shells in a plastic garbage bag and crush them (stomping on them can be quite fun). Use either egg-coloring dyes or tempera paint to dye batches of the eggshells in large containers. Lay colored shells on paper towel-lined trays or plates. Have each child draw a picture or design on stiff paper or cardboard. Then glue on colored shells to fill in their designs.
Have fun!
