Fun easy Easter egg dying

Hey Everyone! Easter is Sunday so I thought I'd share this fun little technique for dying your eggs!

MATERIAL:
-Eggs
-food dye
-vinegar
-water
-cups to put your dye in
-white crayon


STEP 1:
Boil eggs and let them completely cool before dyeing.
STEP 2:
In a cup put 2 tablespoons on white vinegar with 1 cup of hot water. Add the color of your choice and stir. Repeat for other colors. (Add more dye for more vibrant colors) 

STEP 3:
Write on egg with white crayon and submerge egg into cup. Leave it in for about 5-10 mins.
This is how my eggs came out! 

Although this was fun for me, My kids on the other hand had no interest in just watching their eggs being dyed in a cup they wanted to paint them. So continue reading to find out how they painted their eggs.


PAINTING EGGS WITH Q-tips

From the dye I made for dyeing my eggs. I poured a little of each color into a little cup for them, and gave them a q-tip for each color. Although the colors don't come out vibrant at all my kids just love the fact that they are painting. I found this was easiest and cleanest way for them to paint with no splashing and minimal dripping.

These are the only eggs I was able to take a picture of before my kids ate them all up!


Enjoy! Happy Easter!!!
