How to Turn Easter Eggs into A Crocodile

Kids will go wild for Alligator Easter Eggs.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• eggs
• white out/paper white
• green dye
• sharp back marker

1. To hard boil eggs, fill a pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a rolling boil, then turn Heat down to Medium High. Cook for 8-10 minutes.

2. Promptly pace eggs in iced water for 5 minutes. This will ensure the yolks will stay yellow and no green line appears around them. Remove and let sit on a flat surface to warm.

3. Prepare green dye. Boil water and add to green egg dye packet. Immerse eggs completely for 5-10 minutes. The longer they stay, the darker the color.

4. Pat dry eggs with a paper towel. Hold the egg horizontally with the tip (or nose) pointing at you. With the white out make two circles for eyes near the tip.

5. Use the black marker to draw 2 snout holes on the nose (tip) of the egg, and a an alligator smile just underneath them.

6. With the black marker, draw small U's and V's just behind the eyes for scales. The U's and V's will be pointing away from the tip and eyes.

7. When the white out eyes have dryed, draw pupils with the black marker.
