Glow in the dark eggs – a science experiment for kids. Easily create a naked egg through a chemical reaction of dissolving an egg’s shell in vinegar. Make it glow with this added ingredient for extra creativity and fun! 

Glow in the Dark Eggs

Glow in the Dark Eggs Science Experiment for Kids

Did you love our 5 Minute Science Experiments for Kids? We wanted to come up with some more ideas for you to enjoy!

At our house, we’re big science lovers. We love making fun science experiments with the kids that aren’t just the basic experiments, but that have a fun twist in some way. We found out that by using a highlighter marker as a dye, you can make the classic rubber egg science experiment glow in the dark!

How does it work? The dye in the highlighter marker is highly reflective, so when you shine a black light or a flashlight on the egg, it glows in the dark! You can also use this experiment to teach kids about osmosis, chemical reactions, and why vinegar dissolves egg shells.

If you don’t have a highlighter marker, you can also use the inside of a glow stick to make the eggs glow.

Glow in the Dark Eggs Science

Glow in the Dark Eggs Supplies:

Not many ingredients are needed in this science experiment. Many of these supplies are probably found in your own home!

  • Eggs
  • Jar
  • Highlighter marker
  • Scissors
  • Vinegar
  • Flashlight or black light

Extend this project! If you have all these ingredients, also try our Glow in the Dark Glowing Volcano Science Experiment!


Vinegar Eggs Science Experiment

Glow in the Dark Eggs Directions:

This process will take a few days but only take a few minutes to prep.

First, fill a jar with vinegar and set aside.

Cut open the highlighter marker and drop the ink pad into the vinegar. Make sure you squeeze the pad to remove all of the ink from the highlighter pad.

Carefully place one or two eggs into the jar. Set the jar on the counter for about 3 days.

Remove the eggs from the jar when bits of shell rise to the top of the jar. Rinse any remaining shell from the eggs.

Next, dry off the eggs and take them into a dark room.

This is the fun part! Shine a black light or flashlight on the eggs to watch them glow. The highlighter ink reacts with the light, making the egg glow!

Once you’re done admiring the egg’s glow, you can pop the egg open to examine the parts of the egg. The squishy membrane, the egg white, and the egg yolk are all clearly visible when these eggs are popped, which makes it a fun lesson in themes including the construction of an egg, osmosis, and chemical reactions.

Glowing Eggs Vinegar Experiment

What Happened?

A shell of an egg  is made up of calcium carbonate. If you soak this egg shell in vinegar, you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell releasing carbon dioxide gas. The egg insides remain intact and are held together by a membrane just inside the shell.

An ever‑growing collection of ready‑to‑make projects. And deep, exclusive discounts on everything Cricut. It’s all yours for the taking, but only with a Cricut Access plan.

DIY Easter Card Cricut Directions:

First, open Cricut Design Space.

Click on projects and do a search for the Valentine Cricut Card Set (we are using that template to make an Easter card.)

When you find it, click on it and then click the customize button to open it in Design Space.

Duplicate one of the pre-made cards in Design Space by right clicking on it and selecting duplicate.

Now drag the duplicate card template to an empty spot on the mat.

Next, all of the text boxes need duplicated by right clicking on them and dragging them to the appropriate spot on the new card.

Double click on the text to change it to say what you want it to.

Once the text is in place, the next step is to click the image button and choose an image.

Once the image is in the right place, be sure you are still clicked on it so it is highlighted and go to the top of Design Space and look for the Linetype box. Change it from cut to draw. This will change how your image looks.

Once the new card is set up the way you want it, highlight the larger card area and look on the side of the screen where you can see the different layers.

Now you will notice a highlighted grey box, this is your main card. Right above it you will see two text areas under the group heading and the design you chose This is all under a main attach heading.

Highlight all of these sections then go to the bottom and click attach. If you have done this right, the entire card will move where you want it to in Design Space instead of just individual sections of the card.

Make as many cards or different designs as you want repeating the steps above.

When you are done, be sure to click save and name your project.

Now you are ready to click the make it button.

Once the design is opened and ready to make you might notice the cards are spread out over several mats. This is ok.

Place a piece of 12 x 12 white cardstock on the light grip Cricut Mat.

Press the continue button at the bottom of the screen.

The software will look for your Cricut Device and automatically find it.

Now you are going to be asked to choose the material. Click popular and choose either the 60 pound or 80 pound cardstock depending on which you are using.

Once you make your choice, the load tools and mat section will come up. It will tell you to load the Cricut Pen in clamp A and the fine point blade in Clamp C. Be sure to listen for the pen to click in place because if it does not, it will not work. The machine will still work however.

Once this is done, press the load/unload button on your machine to load the Cricut Mat with the paper on it.

As soon as the C on the machine begins to blink, press that button and the machine will begin to draw.

The machine will ask you to change ink colors once the text is done. This is optional. I chose to change the fine point pen to a different color (a brown named tawny).

Let the machine finish drawing the design then it will automatically start to cut the rest of the design. Just let the machine work.

Once the machine is done, the load/unload button will begin flashing. Press it to unload the mat.

Now use the Cricut Spatula to carefully loosen the design from the mat. Doing this keeps it from bending or rolling when you remove the cardstock from the mat.

Finally, once the design is removed, simply add two crayons to each card.

Fill out the to and from areas or let your kids do that.

Now the cards are ready to be given out for Easter. Receivers can use the crayons to color the card!

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

Easy tutorial, How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs. Directions for real or faux eggs.

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

Growing up I can recall getting my die tabs, dropping a hard boiled egg in a clear cup of colored water. This was how we colored our eggs every year. On rare occasions, I got a kit that also came with stickers or a stand and I was able to add a little texture to my Easter Eggs. As I have gotten older and have kids of my own, I have researched different out of the box, out of the carton,  Easter Egg Ideas.

How to Make Gold Leaf Easter Eggs

That was our goal here. To provide you with a creative, really easy, Easter Egg idea. These Gold Leaf Easter Eggs use Liquid Gold Leaf (and it doesn’t cost that much!) You can make them with real eggs or faux eggs as we chose to do in this craft. We had Acrylic Paint, which we purchased at our craft store, but there are many pretty Easter colors online. There is some drying involvement, so feel free to break this craft up into a day or two. That makes each sitting even shorter allowing it to not become a craft that is too time dependent. 

Gold Leaf Easter Eggs Supplies:

  • Faux Paper Mache Eggs (You can use real eggs – just hard boil them or blow them out first!)
  • White Acrylic Paint
  • Assorted Colors Acrylic Paint
  • Liquid Gold Leaf
  • Paint Brush
  • Craft Sponge
  • Floral Foam Brick
  • Flat Head Pins


Gold Leaf Easter Eggs Directions:

First, in a piece of floral foam, push in flat head pins. This will be your drying station so the eggs can dry elevated so your paint doesn’t smudge.

You will need to paint your eggs white. If you are using dark colors you can omit this step if you want, but for lighter colors it’s a must! If you are using real eggs, they are already white so you can omit this step as well.

Once painted, allow the paint to dry and then paint your choice of color. We chose Easter colors like light pink, light purple, a pastel blue, a Easter grass green color.

Allow to dry again. Luckily this doesn’t take long to dry but we waited a day to be safe.

Cut a piece of craft sponge to use in the gold leaf. Using a smaller piece allowed us to have more control over the coloring. Before opening your gold leaf, shake your bottle well. If you don’t it will come out a reddish color… no bueno.

Pour a bit of gold leaf onto a paper plate and sponge it as little or as much as want on your eggs.

Allow to dry and display. Enjoy and be sure to check out our other Easter Egg Ideas.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs with Nail Polish

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs using Nail Polish and Easter Eggs plus easy DIY Egg Drying Rack Tutorial.

How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs

Dyeing eggs is so fun! We shared with you before, Easter Egg Ideas that are outside of the box. Today we have more Easter Egg ideas – How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs with Nail Polish. This egg dyeing process is really easy. We also share and easy tutorial on how to make your own Egg drying rack from a floral foam brick.

I have many memories of dyeing eggs as a kid. They were all of using short plastic cups and adding my hard boiled egg to colored water.  If I was lucky, we got a kit with little paper stands or even stickers – stickers were my favorite. We then displayed the eggs in Easter grass – my how times changes with the evolution of Pinterest! 

Many of these supplies you likely have in your home. Trying gathering old nail polish bottles that are almost out, otherwise pick up this Cheap Nail Polish set. We suggest gloves to keep the marbled pattern off your hands, but have some nail polish remover near by for a quick and easy clean up.

Marbled Easter Eggs Supplies:

  • Eggs
  • Room Temperature Water
  • Bowls
  • Cheap Nail Polish
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Plastic Gloves
  • Toothpicks
  • Floral Foam Brick
  • Flat Head Pins


How to Make Marbled Easter Eggs:

First, prepare your eggs. You can hard boil your eggs or use a small needle to blow the eggs out. If you blow the eggs out, you will be able to save them and use them year after year!

Second, you want to prep your drying rack.

In a piece of craft foam, place flat head pins in. This will allow your eggs to dry without having to be fully set down. You will appreciate this as it will keep your dyed eggs from becoming smudged!

Once your eggs are cooled, fill a small bowl with room temperature water.

Next pour nail polish in a swirling pattern on the water. If the water is the right temperature, the polish should float to the top. This is your goal!

You can mix different colors or stick to one color. We prefer a good swirl of colors.

 

To get a good swirl, use a toothpick to create a swirling pattern.

Put your gloves on to protect your skin. You do get some on you when placing your egg in the mixture. Dunk your egg into the polish water and set on the Easter egg drying rack to dry. You will be able to usually get half of the egg dyed at once, so have patience!

Allow to dry and then finally repeat on the other side if desired.

Enjoy your eggs! I get you will get many compliments! Don’t forget our other  Easter Egg Dyeing Ideas!

How to Dye Easter Eggs with Rice

Dyeing eggs is so fun! We shared with you before, Easter Egg Ideas that are outside of the box. Today we have more Easter Egg ideas – How to Dye Easter Eggs with Rice. This egg dyeing process is really simple too.

This easy to-do DIY makes memories that will last forever.  After dyeing, celebrate Easter this season with your kid’s favorite tradition, Easter egg hunting! These eggs are easy to make, using simple ingredients in your home. Use this recipe for spring party decor or even as a game – like an Easter Egg toss but only one is not hardboiled!  For more Easter egg hunting ideas, be sure to check out our nighttime glow in the dark Easter egg hunt.

(I have to insert that the paragraph above was written by my fifth grader. I have learned to embrace her presence and put her to work on some of her first tasks of work and helping mom out. Normally she helps by picking up toys or watching her younger siblings, but today I gave her a stab at writing an introductory paragraph to our Easter egg rice post. I’d say she did a pretty good job!)

Happy Easter and happy dyeing!

Easter Egg Dyeing Technique

Many of these supplies you likely have in your home. I think you could make these without shopping, but below are the four supplies and ingredients you need!

Riced Dyed Easter Eggs Supplies:

  • 1 Dozen Hardboiled Eggs
  • 6 Cups White Rice
  • Food Coloring (6 assorted colors)
  • 6 Sandwich Size Baggies


Easter Egg Food Coloring

How to Dye Easter Eggs with Rice:

First, hard boil your eggs on your own. There are many recipes online for making the best hardboiled eggs – I like the way we hardboiled eggs in this post, Reversed Easter Egg Deviled Eggs.

Once you have cooled hard boiled eggs, place one cup of rice into each baggie and add 7-8 drops of food coloring into each one. Close bag and squish the rice around so all the color mixes in well.

Once mixed well, open up and place one hard-boiled egg inside. Close bag and shake the bag around until you have your desired color.

You will repeat step 2 until all the eggs are colored. Have fun mixing two or three colors or make a fun rainbow egg with all the colors.

After all eggs are complete, place back in carton or on paper towels to dry and store in refrigerator. You can check out our drying rack tutorial if you want to make your own.

Upcycled Farmhouse Bow Holder Picture Frame

Upcycle an old frame with this Farmhouse Bow Holder craft. This hair bow holder brightens a girls bedroom or brings style to a kid’s bathroom. 

Farmhouse Bow Holder Picture Frame

Upcycled Farmhouse Bow Holder Picture Frame

If you read often, you know I have five kids. The first two are girls (ages 9 and 10) and they are quickly aging out of the hair bows. The youngest 3 are boys (ages 2 and under – surprise twins). That being said, my ten years of making picture frame hair bow holders are coming to an end. I wanted to give you one last craft before we hang up our last bow and call it the end to an era!

With this frame, we went a different direction. I decided to add a fabric backing this year. In the past, I did open picture frame with no fabric backing, but this year I wanted to offer a solution. With my older frames, I would put my hair clip on a ribbon and I would work really hard to not scrape the wall with the alligator clip. Having the fabric backing, offers a solution to my biggest problem (scratched walls!)

Place this hair bow holder in a kids bathroom or a girls bedroom!

Upcycled Farmhouse Bow Holder Picture Frame Supplies:

  • Old (or brand new) picture frame
  • White spray paint
  • Cotton fabric of choice
  • 7/8” – 1.5” Ribbon of choice
  • Hot glue/hot glue gun
  • Tape measure
  • Sand paper
  • Scissors
  • Garbage bags or paper bags


Hair Bow Holder Craft

Upcycled Farmhouse Bow Holder Picture Frame Directions:

First, carefully take apart your frame, removing the glass and all backing like staples, nails, hooks, etc.

Take your frame outside and lay out plastic or paper bags. Place your frame on top.

Spray Painted Picture Frame

Next, spray paint your frame white (or any color you choose) and let dry.

Once you frame is dry, you will want to do some sanding. Lightly sand your frame to give it a farmhouse distressed look or keep as is.

Find the perfect piece of fabric to match your child’s bedroom or bathroom. Measure the back of your frame and cut out a piece of fabric the same dimensions. Lay your fabric aside.

Upcycled Picture Frame

Carefully glue your ribbon across the back of the frame (make sure the front of the ribbon faces the front of the frame) leaving an even amount of space in between each ribbon to fit bow. You can do one ribbon pattern (as we have) or multiple patterns.

Afterward, glue your fabric piece (front of fabric facing toward front of frame) to the frame along the edges making sure the fabric is pulled tight!

Homemade Hair Bow Holder

Finally, if you choose, you can glue the back of the frame back on but leave the glass out.

Clip your bows to the frame and display in your room.

Enjoy!

Open Picture Frame Hair Bow Holder

Excuse the quality of this photo. I made this frame ten years ago. I wanted to share with you another option, a bow holder without a fabric backing. I also used different patterned ribbons and allowed the color of the wall to come through between an open frame. Just consider it an option. I did find when putting the alligator clips on the ribbon, I was always attempting not to scratch or nick the all. So while the wall paint coming through was pretty. I had to be careful to not scratch up the wall!

Be the Good Kid Quote | DIY Easy Bedroom Canvas Tutorial

Be the Good Kid Quote. We turned one of our favorite quotes into a Canvas for under $20.  Inspirational quote for girls and boys turned into DIY bedroom artwork – no canvas or paint required!

Be the Good Kid Quote

I have so much I want to teach my girls. I think of the most random “lessons” I want to share with them, but something makes it not the right timing. I quickly retain those ideas in my head and often they get buried beneath mundane day to day information.  Recently, I have found the best way to inspire my girls is through quotes that lead to their own self reflection. I have them read a quote, think about it and then we discuss it. This gives them ownership in their own beliefs without me instilling my own ideology in their head.


Be the Good Kid Quote:

So this craft project actually took no supplies. I am not joking. Using my computer mouse and keyboard, I created this DIY canvas online… you guys it was ridiculously easy!

First, I ordered this Be the Good Kid Quote online on Etsy. This was an instant download so as soon as I made my purchase for under $5. I paid $4.99 to be exact. This is the only “supply” you need for your kid’s quote project.

Tip: If you cannot see your download after you purchase, go to purchases and reviews under your account. From there, find your purchase and click Download Files.

Directions for Your DIY Canvas:

Once you have downloaded your Be the Good Kid Quote you will want to purchase a discounted canvas voucher online. One of my favorite places to purchase canvas prints is on Canvas on Demand, Canvas Champ and Canvas People. I normally take a look at Groupon to find a discounted canvas voucher first.  I found this Canvas on Demand Groupon Voucher, one 16×20 Canvas Print for $15. I doubt this price/voucher will last – so get it while you can!

Tip: This PDF printable from Etsy is 8 x 10 inches, so you want to order a canvas size that will fit. Order an 8×10 canvas, 16×20 canvas, or anything with a ratio of 4:5.

Canvas Print Deals
After I purchased the voucher, I went to my Groupon account and under my account chose My Groupons. There you can get your unique promo offer for your free canvas (you have already purchased it.) Follow the directions on your voucher. On the canvas merchant page, you will upload your Etsy download (instead of a photo.)  Your canvas will arrive and look like you hand lettered it yourself!

What a creative way to place some inspiration in your child’s room. Remind them to be the good kid. Remind them to be the kind kid!
