Paint-filled eggs on canvas

I’ve seen a lot of messy painting ideas with kids, but nothing quite like this. Start by making a small hole in the bottom of an egg and empty out the shell (pre-project omelet anyone?). When the shells are clean, fill each one with a different color of paint. Set up some paper outside, hand over the paint-filled shells and let the kids go wild throwing them to create a truly unique (and super fun) work of art. Head to Andrea’s Notebook for all the details.
