Marbled Eggs
Wrap fresh, raw eggs separately in onion skins. Insert the wrapped eggs into old pantyhose legs. Tie the ends of the pantyhouse so each egg can’t escape.
Place the eggs into a deep pot. Cover the eggs with water until it's 1″ or more above the eggs. Heat the pot until the water is boiling, then remove from heat.
Cover the pot and let it rest about 24 minutes. Then, place the eggs in a bowl with cold water to prevent further cooking.
Remove the pantyhose to reveal caramel-colored, marbled eggs.
Easter Bunny Eggs
Cut two cups from a paper egg carton and paint them white.
Cut pieces of craft foam in the shape of bunny ears, bunny feet, and front teeth.
Glue the ears, teeth, and two googly eyes onto one cup to form a head. Glue the feet onto the other cup.
When the glue is dry, place the egg first in the feet cup and then cover it with the head cup.
