Shaving Cream Easter Eggs
- Boil Eggs
Start with 6 – 12 eggs depending on the size of your muffin tray. Hard boil them first.
- Prepare Muffin Tray
Spray foam shaving cream into your muffin tin.
- Add Food Coloring
Then add a couple of food coloring drops on top of it. I used different colors to create marbleized eggs.
- Dye Eggs
Afterward, gently place your tried of hard-boiled eggs with a spoon in the prepared muffin tray.
- Turn Your Eggs
Turn your eggs after 15-20 minutes and wait another 15-20 minutes. The longer you let your eggs sit, the brighter the colors are going to be.
- Clean Your Eggs
Now it is time to take your eggs out of the shaving cream and clean them gently with paper towels off.
- Let them try
After you clean your eggs set them aside and let them try.

Summary
My whole family loved this project. After all, the eggs were dyed they used the leftover foam to play around.
Be aware it can be a messy project and the food coloring ends up on hands and cloth.
After the eggs were tried I was surprised that the colored eggs do not color your hands when touching them.
We really enjoyed this activity and we will try this soon again!
