Marbled Easter Eggs
This page includees instructions for decorating easter eggs to make them look marbled.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
In a coffee cup, mix about 1 tablespoon of food coloring with 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 1/2 cup cool water. If necessary you can add a bit more water.
