Eight Great Eggs-periments!
Eggs are everywhere this time of year! We dye them and we hide them, we boil them and we eat them, but why not experiment with them? Give your Easter celebration an education and scientific twist with these amazing experiments that will blow the kids’ minds and lead them to make some great observations! These are our top eight favorite egg experiments to do with the kids.
Spider Web Eggs- This easy experiment involves boiling eggs in water with blueberries, and is sure to have a “wow” effect on the kiddos!
Volcano Egg Dying – This experiment doubles as a way to make bright, beautiful colored eggs! Who knew a chemical reaction could also be an art project?
The Unbreakable Egg – The shell of an egg is fragile, but the shape of an egg is very strong! Test your strength, and the egg's, with this mind-boggling experiment!

Egg geodes- These eggs are not for eating, but the crystalized geode effect that they produce is an amazing sight!
The Disappearing Egg Shell- It is pretty common to use vinegar to dye Easter eggs, but what happens when you leave the egg in vinegar for a few days? The shell disappears!
How to make The Disappearing Egg Shell
The Shrunken Egg – After you have a shell-less egg (see experiment above), you can shrink it just by covering it in Karo syrup!
The Erupting Egg – With a shrunken egg (see experiment above ), you can soak the egg in colored water until it is absorbed, then poke a hole for a volcano-like effect from the egg!
Magic Eggs- While this experiment does not involve real eggs, it is a recipe for foam, fizz, and fun! See the different ways you can surprise your little ones with these magic eggs.
Enjoy this Easter holiday in a new, scientific way with these experiments! Easter doesn’t just have to be about celebrating spring and new life, it can be about celebrating new knowledge and experiences, too!
