The smell of vinegar, the bright palette of colors each in its own separate container, the excited children surrounding the table ready to wreak havoc on what little sanity adults have. What a beautiful moment in time. Eggs will be dropped, colors will be mixed, spills will happen and yet the whole activity is enjoyable.
The big hit this year was the white/clear crayon. Much like the Ukrainian eggs (Pysanka) we added layers of color using a wax resist method. Nothing terribly impressive but my nephews thought I was amazing. Pictured above is the dragon I created for Bryant. Perhaps next year I will try the Pysanka, for now my handy little crayon will do just fine.
