Coloring Easter Eggs


Here are some important guidelines for coloring Easter eggs with a three-year-old:

#1 - Be sure the child is covered from head to toe in something that protects their clothing. They have a way of getting stuff everywhere.


#2 - Make sure the adult who is supervising the child is covered from head to toe in something that protects their clothing. They have a way of getting stuff everywhere.


#3 - Use only hard-boiled eggs for this project. Raw eggs create a real mess, especially when handled by a three-year-old being supervised by her grandpa.


#4 - For extra safety, ensure that someone is supervising the adult who is supervising the child. That way, you have a responsible adult to clean up the mess.


If you are lucky, you will end up with beautifully-colored eggs like these AND a clean kitchen.

You should have added that it helps to have a granddaughter who doesn't LIKE to get messy. It minimized the disaster area...a little bit. =)

Hey now. If Dad wasn't so messy he wouldn't be as much fun! Think peanut butter and a drill... :)
