- water
- plastic bin
- newspaper
Instructions
-
Fill a shallow bin halfway with water. Invite your child to pour nail polish into it. We chose to use pastel spring colors!
-
Swirl the nail polish with a toothpick to create a marbled effect, then dip the paper egg into it. Just a small amount of nail polish is needed! We discovered that if too much was used, the nail polish created unsightly blobs on the paper.
-
Pull out the paper, then set it on a piece of newspaper to dry. Kids may be able to dip a second egg into the water, but if more nail polish is needed, simply add more!
-
TIP: Wear protective gloves to prevent nail polish from gathering on your finger tips!
-
When your child is finished, use a scrap piece of paper to scrape the leftover nail polish from the water before disposing.
