Easter Egg Coloring at Oakland Public Library


Hilary Ray had a fabulous morning coloring Easter eggs at the Oakland Public Library. Rosa Schmidt, Library Director, had a unique way of coloring the eggs. She used shaving cream and food coloring, combining the two in a metal pan. Once the two were combined, Hilary rolled the eggs through the color then placed them on newspaper. After 15 or so minutes passed, she wiped the colored shaving cream off and revealed beautifully colored eggs.
