Coffee Filter Easter Egg
Make a colorful egg decoration out of a coffee filter.

Materials Needed:

  • Coffee Filter
  • Food Coloring
  • Straws
Instructions:
Cut the coffee filter into an oval, egg shape. Measure out about 1/4 cut of water into a glass dish or cup. Add a few drops of food coloring at a time to the water until you get the desired color. Repeat this for however many different colors you want. Once your colors are mixed you can use the straw to add colors to your egg shape.

Dip a straw into the desired color. Cover the end of your straw with your finger so the colored water stays in it. Move the straw to your filter and hold it over the area you want colored. Remove your finger from the end of the straw and the colored water will run onto the egg! Repeat this for as many colors as you want to use.

Once you are done coloring your egg, set it aside to dry.
