Instructions
Clean plastic eggs in soap and water if they are dirty from previous use. Dry eggs. Select a well-ventilated area to paint the eggs and spread out the newspaper to protect your work surface. Spray paint can get messy, so you may want to work outdoors, in the garage or some other work space where over-spray won't be a problem.
Open the eggs and place right them side up on the newspaper. Space the eggs well apart so the surfaces can be easily spray painted. Apply a base color like dark green or brown. Experts aren't sure what color dinosaur eggs really were, so feel free to use whatever color you like. Allow eggs to dry. Check the eggs to see if a second coat of base color is needed and paint if required.
Close the eggs and place them back on the newspaper. Swirl a second paint color over the eggs (green, brown or yellow would work well). Do this by sweeping the spray can across several eggs in a random pattern. The dinosaur eggs should look like a camouflage pattern when done. If you lose too much of the base color, simply apply a swish of the base color on a third pass. Add layers of paint in alternating colors until your reach the desired effect, but remember to allow paint to dry between coats.
