Fun Painting Easter Eggs
Why not have some fun this Easter.
Paint some Easter Eggs. You can use various methods like food coloring and vinegar, shaving cream, or even nail polish for a marbled effect, and then decorate with paints, stickers, or ribbons.
Here's a breakdown of different methods and ideas:
1. Traditional Dyeing with Food Coloring:
Preparation: Hard-boil your eggs (or use blown-out eggs for a longer-lasting display).
Dyeing:
Mix food coloring, vinegar (1 teaspoon per cup of water), and water in separate containers for different colors.
Submerge eggs in the colored water for 3-5 minutes, adjusting time for desired color intensity.
Decorating:
Once dry, add details with paint, glitter, stickers, or ribbons.
Use masking tape for straight lines or crayons for resist patterns.
2. Shaving Cream Method:
Preparation: Pour shaving cream into a tray, add food coloring, and swirl with a fork.
Dyeing: Roll eggs in the shaving cream mixture, leave for 10 minutes, and then wipe clean.
3. Nail Polish Method:
Preparation:
Fill a bowl with cold water and add drops of nail polish to create a marbled effect.
Dyeing:
Gently dip eggs into the water, allowing the nail polish to spread and create patterns.
4. Other Decorating Ideas:
Pompom Painting: Use pompoms on pegs to create dots or strokes of paint on egg shapes.
Wooden Eggs: Consider using wooden eggs for a reusable and eco-friendly option.
Natural Earth Paints: Use natural earth paints for a sustainable and colorful option.
Edible Markers: For kids, use edible markers to decorate the eggs.
Bunny Ear Napkins: Create bunny ear napkins by folding napkins and tying them around the eggs.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
