How to Dye Easter Eggs with Shaving Cream and Food Colouring

Use the plastic spoon to even out the shaving cream in each muffin cup.

STEP 2: Add food colouring
Drop 5-10 drops of food colouring in the colouring of your choice into each cup. You can have fun creating and experimenting with different colour combinations!
STEP 3: Create a tie-dye effect
Use a toothpick to swirl the colours around in each cup, creating a tie-dye effect.
STEP 4: Dip each egg in the shaving cream
Put your gloves on! This is optional but it will avoid you ending up with brightly coloured hands! Carefully place an egg into each muffin cup and rotate the egg in the muffin cup, covering the whole egg. Repeat this step for all 12 eggs to create the tie-dye pattern.
STEP 5: Leave and then rinse
Allow all the eggs to sit in the shaving cream and food colouring mixture for 10-15 minutes and then rinse each egg off under cold water. Carefully place the eggs to dry on a lined pan or container.
And there you have it, I think that you will agree that these Easter eggs are amazing to look at! I LOVE the striking colours! Dying eggs with shaving cream is such a fascinating technique to try. A total winner activity for kids in our book! We hope you enjoyed making these shaving cream Easter eggs.
