  1. What do you use to write on them? Everything I have tried has come off on the kid's hands.

    1. I use a sharpie "professional" permanent marker. It costs a little more than the regular sharpies but it's great!

  3. Love your ideas. Went out today.....yes, on Easter after church and bought some eggs. I came home and tried my permanent sharpie pens to write on the eggs and as the comment above says, the marker came off on my hands. I then tried sand paper to rough up the surface area that was going to be written on. This did eliminate some of the rubbing off effect but was very time consuming. Each egg took several minutes to sand. Help! Any ideas? What kind of marker did you use? I really would love to make these for my Kindergarten students.

    1. I used a sharpie but I just double checked and the one that I have says "professional" permanent marker. It costs about $3.50 but it's great! I am using the eggs at home for only 2 girls so I am sure it's a bit easier but we have had very little wipe off. I let them dry overnight before use and tell the girls to be careful when handling them and show them to try to use the edges where nothing is written. I actually still have the eggs I made last year and reused them this year with my younger daughter.
