Here's what we did:
With the first egg, Timmy tried to colour the egg with purple crayon.
It was interesting to see the crayon melt as it touched the hot egg.
Secondly, I poured food colouring onto the egg which was previously coloured with the crayon.
We saw how the crayon's wax provided a shield to the egg and the water colour couldn't blend into the egg shell.
Timmy tried to spray it with his water gun. hehehehe...
Thirdly, we tried the blue food colouring. I poured the blue food colouring into a glass, Timmy stirred it. Then he scooped the egg with a spoon, put it into the glass, rolled it around to get it even...
Funnily, the egg turned out to be green instead of blue!
With the last egg, we mixed blue with red food colouring to get purple! :) Timmy's favourite colour. Voila!
I like Timmy's expression when he saw the eggs. :)
With the remaining colours, we played around.
It was fun to take bits of colour with the spoon and made lines on the newspaper. I like to see how the watercolour was absorbed by the paper, while the oil remained separated.
We ended up trying to draw a chicken with the remaining colour and a spoon as the tool. hehehe...
Timmy had fun spraying the water with his water gun.
When we peeled the eggs, we had nice colourful eggs. There was 1 egg that looked like marbled eggs, another which looked like dotted eggs. hahaha...
We had fun that day!
