{Play} Easter Egg Dye Crayon Resist Art & Kids Co-Op Playdate Linky
April 6, 2012 in All Posts, Kids Co-op Linky Playdate, Play, Toddler Activities
Welcome to The Kid’s Co-op Weekly Playdate!
This is my first week as a hostess and I’m thrilled to be bringing you an opportunity to share your best play ideas from the week and a place to browse for new inspiration.
Since this is our first playdate together, I don’t have any highlights from last week’s linky, so I’ll share some of our activities from this week and a new one: Easter Egg Dye Crayon Resist Art.
This activity actually came out of a few failed eggs-periments when we tried the crayon resist technique and tape resist technique on our Easter eggs - plus a random olive oil trial and salted egg experiment. Our unimpressive results:
Eventually, we just used white crayons on paper and painted with the leftover Easter egg dye (water, vinegar, and liquid food coloring per the instructions on the food coloring box). We tried a few sheets of numbers and a few sheets of Easter-themed letters and words. Click on the collages for a better view.
All in all, not a total bust at all! Here are a few other activities we’ve been enjoying:
Multi-Color Crayons
Magic Rainbow Rice Letters
Easter Candy Math
Now - time to link up your best kids’ art, crafts, recipes, and activities! I’ll feature my favorites next week.

So many fun posts!! I love your round up from the week of your ideas! That crayon resist art looked like a lot of fun. I love when projects fail and you come up with an even cooler idea! Happy Friday! Welcome to Kid’s Co-op!
Thanks for the warm welcome
I was tempted to try the crayon resist a second time, but we were all egged out by then!
