Elmer's glue is etible and doesn't soak through the shell.  Wel She uses the
glue sticks.  I don't really like her either, but she does come up  with
some really cool crafts and has some really neat gadgets. V

I've never bothered with coloring eggs since I was a kid, though I might
start when Sarah gets old enough to appreciate such things.  But I probably
wouldn't roll the eggs in glue and glitter.  First of all, I can't stand
Martha Stewart.  I think she's around just to make the rest of us feel
completely inept when we can't pull off elaborate holidays like she does--if
you want to do all the things in her "Martha's Perfect Christmas" book,
you'll have to celebrate only every other year because the hours have been
added up, and there aren't enough hours in a year to get everything done
even if you don't have a job or kids or a life.  But anyway, I'd also be
worried that the glue might soak through the pores of the eggshell, so
unless there's an edible glue, the craft doesn't sound all that great to me.

The eggs would be nice and tactile, it's true.
