Wash
and dry the egg. Pierce both ends of the egg with a large needle.
Gradually make the hole at the narrower end of the egg larger
and stick in the needle far enough to break the yolk. Holding
the egg over a bowl, with the small end pointing down, blow through
the hole at the opposite end until the white and yolk come out.
Rinse the inside and outside of the egg with cold water and let
dry. (Use the raw egg in a recipe)

First,
color the eggshells with food color and let dry.
Then break the eggshells into pieces of different sizes and
colors.
Draw an outline of the final design on colored paper and place
the eggshell pieces inside the outline. You can use white glue
to affix the eggshell pieces on the sheet of paper.
For a more durable finish, you can use transparent spray lacquer
to protect the mosaic.

Carefully
break the upper third part of the egg.
Empty the egg: wash and dry the eggshells carefully.
Color them with acrylic paint, felt tip crayons, or dye. Decorate.
Pour wax crystals inside the eggshell and put a woven wick covered
in wax inside each egg.
The wax crystals will melt when the wicks are lit and begin
to burn.
Put the candles on some sand, small decorative stones, or in
an egg cup.
Never leave lighted candles unattended.
Adults should be present when children light the candles.
