Coffee Filter Easter Eggs

I saw  this pin a few weeks ago for making easter eggs with coffee filters, and I thought it was pretty cute.  We've already made snowflakes and butterflies with coffee filters, but I thought we'd try these. 

I had a house full of boys for the day (aged 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1) and this craft was great for them. Messy enough to be entertaining, but not too messy for me to clean up. I cut a bunch of coffee filters into egg shapes. The boys coloured all over them with Crayola markers.
We got out  a spray bottle of water, and sprayed them lightly (or not so lightly).  We left them to dry on the table - they left some mess underneath, but it wiped clean with a cloth.  The boys loved watching the colours run and change.  The eggs look beautiful in the window!
