Eggs (as many as you want to decorate)

YOU'LL NEED:

Saucepan (large enough to hold eggs)
Slotted spoon
Lg. bowl
Empty egg cartons

Fill the saucepan half full with warm water. Carefully lower the eggs into the water with a slotted spoon. Bring to a boil. Turn the heat down immediately to simmer and set timer for 15 minutes. Remove the eggs from the saucepan with a slotted spoon to the large bowl filled with cold water. When the eggs are cooled, place in egg cartons and keep in the refrigerator until ready to decorate.

Note: Bring your eggs to room temperature before you start to help keep the shells from breaking when you lower them into the warm water.
