After making some fried egg sandwiches the other day I felt guilty throwing the shells away knowing they could be used for something great, not just the compost.

Dye the shells in food coloring water combo. Let dry. Crack into smaller pieces. Print or draw an egg picture to use as template and get some craft glue with a paint brush. |

Have your little one paint the glue on and start laying the mosaic shells. |
