I've filled eggs with regular paint before, but this time I tried Powdered Paint, which was much cooler! When L threw the eggs, the powder kind of exploded instead of making a small splat.
After he threw them all, and once again I realized that I should have made more, I got out a bucket of water and spray bottle to prolong the fun!

After blowing the yolk out of the eggs I used a pen to
carefully break a larger hole in the top of each egg. (No eggs were wasted. I blew the eggs into a bowl to use for scrambled eggs for a few days of breakfast)
After they were washed out and dried I filled them with powdered paint.
Then I hot glued tissue paper over the holes.
The throwing always ends so quickly, but we did much more with the powdered paint on the ground afterward. He even just liked walking in it to make his feet colorful!
and that's then I brought out the water to make rainbow puddles!
TIP
You could also use plastic easter eggs!

I love this! We will definitely be giving this one a try! You have such great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and it is INCREDIBLE. So many fun, creative activities!!! One of my FB friends posted the indoor bubble blowing and I've been pinning things all afternoon since I saw that! Can't wait to try some of this stuff when my son gets older!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU.
oooh brilliant idea. I have just bought some really big tubs of powder paint and was a bit stumped for ideas. Thanks for a great one
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Powdered paint is a really cool alternative to your everyday paints! We've also done powdered paint with shaving cream and THAT was lots of fun too! http://www.playcreateexplore.com/2011/07/shaving-cream-and-powdered-paints.html
ReplyDeleteHOW FUN! I wonder how this would work with powdered chalk.
ReplyDeleteWe've got to try this! I'm pinning it for a rainy day activity.
ReplyDeleteThis spring when I used eggs I carefully broke off the tops. At Easter I filled the eggs with some pennies and carefully used colored tissue paper to cover the holes and paper mache the eggs. They looked beautiful and my granddaughter loved breaking them open to find what was inside. Next year I'm filling them with powdered paint!! Thanks for the idea. She will love it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like incredible fun! We make candy-filled eggs often, but have never made ones with paint! This is totally awesome! Thanks for sharing at the Kids Co-op Playdate :-)
