How to make Easter Eggs with Shaving Cream

Squirt a small amount of shaving cream in each muffin cup. Note: the shaving cream will rise, so you do not need to add a lot!

Drop 10-20 drops of desired food coloring onto each muffin cup filled with shaving cream. For this project, I added at least two different colors to each cup. You can use single colors if desired.

Place a boiled egg inside each cup.

Gently roll the egg around in each muffin cup until the egg is completely covered with color. If you have excess shaving cream as a result of rolling each egg, you can wipe the excess away with a paper towel. (Note: if not using gloves, your hands will most likely be dyed from the food coloring! Gloves are highly recommended. Wipe off-colored shaving cream when switching to different eggs.)

When rolling the egg around, make sure you get as much food coloring to touch the eggshell as possible. Otherwise, the shaving cream could prevent the egg from getting enough color on it!

Allow the eggs to sit for a few minutes in the muffin pan.

Transfer all eggs to the paper towel-lined tray and allow them to sit for about 30 minutes.
