If you don’t love to eat Peeps, you can use them to make Peep prints! And if you do love to eat them, then save some for snacking on while you print!

Instead of printing with potatoes, try acorn squash! They are the perfect shape for flowers and lambs!

8. Make Melted Crayon Eggs

While your hardboiled eggs are fresh from the pot, draw on them with crayons. The melted wax will leave vibrant designs on the eggs. Then dye as you normally would for a lovely wax-resist effect.
