    1. Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. ...
    2. Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking.
    3. Let eggs cool completely at room temperature
    4. While eggs are cooling , mix food coloring with 1/2 cup water in a bowl, until desired color is reached
    5. cut long strips from the construction paper to make stands for your eggs,  wrap the strip around the bottom of the egg and glue the end to create the stand 
    6. using the crayon on the eggs before using the food color on them will cause the food coloring not to stick to the egg were the crayon was used.
    7. Once the eggs are cool place them one at a time in the food coloring . It's fun to mix and match the colors on 1 egg ,or make a rainbow one by using a cotton ball to control the color.Use the markers and crayons after the food coloring has dried fully on the eggs
