Page of3 16

Material: eggs, a vessel filled with warm water, oil, tempera paints

1. If you don’t have plastic eggs, hard boil some eggs & allowthem to cool down.2. Paint these eggs in different colors & allow them to

completely dry.(Tip: These are base colors- so they should be light!)

4. Pour warm water in a vessel and mix in a dark color paint(Tip: this color will stand out over the base color)

5. Pour in a few drops of oil- and give it a swirl with adisposable spoon/craft stick

6. Dip in the eggs one by one, so a layer of oil & dark paintcoat most of the egg - immediately place it aside to dry.

As oil doesn’t dissolve in water, it separates from the paint andcreates a beautiful marble effect over the surface of the egg

Marbling with nail polish


13/16

Page of13 16

Material: Eggs, a vessel containing warm water, nail polish, tongs/pincers

Instead of oil, we use nail polish!#

1. Pour a few drops of nail polishinto the warm water in the vessel.

2. Let the drops spread to form afilm over the surface of the water

3. With tongs/pincers, dip in the eggs, so the filmcoats most of the egg- and immediately put itaside to dry

(TIP: Unlike normal marbling, the use of tongs isnecessary! Nail polish is a nightmare to take offchildren’s hands!)
