This is a really colorful craft idea for a collage using dyed eggshells. It's also a good way to recycle all those eggs. It'd be a good idea to make the dyed eggshells far in advance and keep a stock of them on hand for various crafts.
Materials:
- egg shells
- Easter egg dyes or food coloring
- vinegar or lemon juice
- cups
- paper
- glue
Directions:
Colored Eggshells
Rinse and allow egg shells to dry after cooking. Be sure to remove the inner membrane.- Put into a ziplock bag and break into small pieces. Don't pulverize them.
- Place water and food coloring into small cups. Pour in the eggshells. Adding a little vinegar or lemon juice will create a stronger color. Remove and allow to dry. Separate your various colors.
Collage Craft
- Draw a design on paper with glue.
- Cover with eggshells and pour off the excess.

Draw a design with crayons and put glue on the inside decorate.

I saw the picture of the egg shell flower, I think it was your site. Can you tell me who I might ask for permission to use it in my Ted Talk? It is very familiar to something I did in grade school. Just a fun little slide and I want to credit.
