Here's today's tip for all ya'll that are still gettin' your groove on with the Easter egg craze!
I blogged about my multiplication eggs a couple weeks ago and then I ran into a slight problem a few days later.
The kids LOVED them so much that they wore the darn things plum clean!!
Then I had a lightbulb moment...
Insert today's Teacher Tip!
Clear nail polish for the win!!
It totally does the trick!
Have you ever tried this?
I made these fun prefix and suffix eggs last week for my littles and the clear polish has kept everything good as new {so far}.
It does smear the permanent marker just a tad.
I don't mind though. It's a million times better than the marker doing that whole disappearing act!
I don't know about ya'll, but this girl does not have the time or energy to be rewriting all my egg centers every two or three days.
Give it a shot and see if you like it!
It's been a HUGE time saver for me :)

I LOVE this idea. Last year I had so many eggs that I had to re-write. I am headed to Target to get some clear nail polish and do this. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI used packing tape and sealed them...they don't look as great...but they've lasted for 12 years...pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteI tried this, and like you said, it does smear. It is also still sticky after 24 hours.
