Pour half a cup of water

Marble Eggs
Grater
Wax paper or newspaper
Crayon stubs
Large Glass Jar
Hot water
Hard-boiled or blown eggs
Slotted spoon
Empty egg carton
Clear acrylic spray
(optional)
Grate peeled crayon stubs
over wax paper or newspaper. Fill a large glass jar
with very hot water. Drop pinches of grated crayon into
the water and add an egg as soon as the crayon begins to
melt. Twirl the egg in the water with a slotted spoon;
the wax will make a design on the egg. Carefully remove
the egg from the water with a slotted spoon and set it
in an upside-down egg carton to dry. Spray with clear
acrylic spray when the wax is dry, if desired.
