Supposed to be a Marbled Egg

I saw a really cute marbled egg in one of my Mailbox magazines so I thought we would give it a try.

First we grated up some colored chalk using the smallest part on the cheese grater.

Hailey dumped the chalk onto a cookie sheet. The cookie sheet had water in it, just enough to cover the bottom of it.

Then she swirled the colors using a straw

and put an egg shaped piece of construction paper into the pan.

It was supposed to look marbled. It didn’t.

It looked speckled.

Then Hailey did another one and pushed down more, so it made little finger prints.

It didn’t look anything like it was supposed to, but Hailey had fun anyways. In case you’re curious- here is what it looked like in the magazine:

Yeah- just a little different 🙂

Hmmm, that does look different:) At least the process was fun! I like speckled eggs!

I wonder why it didn’t work the way they showed! It does look a fun craft, and speckled eggs are still pretty!
