About This Project

A 60–90 minutes craft for ages 3–12, using supplies you likely already have — Cooling Racks, Vegetable Oil, and Eggs.

GlueStick supports kids from setup to cleanup. After they choose a project, we guide them through gathering the supplies, making it, and cleaning up when they're done. We'll even help them share it safely with trusted family and friends.

Ad-free and kid-safe library — designed by a mom who wants kids to explore and create independently.

    Make Perfect Marbled Easter Eggs

    Cook your eggs

    If you haven't already hard-boiled your eggs, make them now and let them cool. Our favorite, fool-proof 5-5-5 egg recipe uses a pressure cooker. Put the eggs in an egg trivet in the pressure cooker and set it to cook for 5 minutes. Let the steam naturally release for 5 minutes, then put in an ice bath for 5 more minutes.
