Galaxy Easter Eggs

Happy Easter & Happy Passover! I loved creating these galaxy inspired Easter Eggs with one of my students this past week!  It furthered our love and fascination with solar system, and was a super easy and fun activity for the whole family!  Create galaxy Easter Eggs to explore outer space and the solar system! 

Materials:

• Egg Decorating Kit (link)
• Blue, Purple, Black & Gold Acrylic PainT (link)
• Silver and Gold Glitter  (link)
• Olive Oil
• Silver Paint Pen (link)
• A dozen hard-boiled eggs 
• Sponge Paint Brush (link)

 Steps:

First, start a conversation with your child about our amazing solar system--the planets, the stars, constellations and beyond!  Watch this Brain Pop video to get started.

Once you spark their curiosity,  you are ready to create your galaxy eggs! 

• Dye the eggs using the PAAS kit
• Set aside a bowl with 2 cups of cool water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Add a few drops of acrylic paint into the bowl and stir
• Using a spoon, dip the dyed egg into the bowl..it will quickly become marbleized!
• BE CREATIVE!  You can use a sponge brush to paint the eggs a solid color, and add glitter!  You can even draw constellations on the egg using the silver paint pen.  The possibilities are endless..just like the galaxies!
