Egg blowing for painting

Wow! This is something I have always wanted to try but for some reason, never did. Today we decided to give it a whirl!
The boys LOVED this activity!
Steps to blowing an egg for Easter egg painting:
1. Place a band aid on smallest end of egg, push a thumb tack into the shell, the band aid will keep the shell from cracking.
2. Place the band aid on other end of egg, repeat making a hole with thumb tack, once there is a hole push a sharp nail through the hole to make that hole bigger.
3. Straighten a paper clip and stick it into the hole and break the yolk.
4. Now place a bowl under the egg and start blowing!! Blow through the smaller hole in order the force egg out the larger hole.
5. Voila! An empty egg shell for painting!
6. Rinse the shell really well and place in microwave for 20-30 seconds to harden the shell a bit.
7. Shells are ready to paint!
Pure FUN!
Happy Easter!
