2. Make a larger hole at the other side.
3. Carefully blow the insides of the egg out by blowing through the small hole so it comes out of the bigger hole.
4. Pour running water through the egg so it is clean on the inside (rember to shake)
5. Boil the egg shells in a saucepan of boiling water for 5-10 mins. If you want food colouring add it to the water now.
