Ingredients
- Hard-boiled eggs or plastic eggs
- Watercolor paints
- Paintbrushes (various sizes)

- Optional: Stickers or masking tape for designs
Instructions
- Set up a clean, flat surface and lay down old newspapers or a plastic cover.
- Gather all your materials.
- If using real eggs, boil and cool them. If using plastic, ensure they are clean.
- In a palette, mix watercolor paints with a little water to experiment with color combinations.
- Dip your brush in water and then into the paint. Begin with a light wash of color on one side of the egg using soft, sweeping strokes.

- Place finished eggs in an egg carton to dry completely. Once dry, display them as a centerpiece or gift them.
Notes
Consider customizing colors with food coloring for a brighter finish or using sponges for a textured look. Ensure each layer is dry to prevent colors from running together.
