Cascarones are dyed eggs meant to be broken over the head of a friend, spilling confetti and favors. Children take special delight not only in decorating the eggs but also in smashing them later.
You will need:
Egg dyes, hot water, distilled white vinegar
Raw eggs
Small bowls or cups
Spoons
Empty egg carton
Scissors
Colored tissue paper
Egg cutter or sharp knife
Trinkets, candy, confetti, or rice
Clear paper glue
To make:
Prepare several colors of egg dye with hot water and vinegar in small bowls. Dye the eggs in assorted colors as desired. Lift eggs out with spoons and let dry in the egg carton.
While the eggs are drying, use scissors to cut out several 1- or 2-inch square pieces of tissue paper, one for each egg.
With the egg cutter or a sharp knife, cut off 1/6 of each egg from its narrow end and pour out the yolk and white. Rinse the inside of the shells and let them dry.
Fill each dried eggshell with trinkets, candy, confetti, or rice. Cover the hole of each egg with a piece of tissue paper and glue the edges to the shell.
If desired, cut narrow strips of tissue paper and glue them on the shell for decoration.
