Easy Kid-Friendly Way To Dye Easter Eggs!

One of our new favorite Easter craftivities is easy egg-dyeing.

We'll be working on ours this week as a spring break craftivity.

"C"s preschool teacher let me know about this little gem last year,

and I WISH I had known about it years ago!

The directions for easy tie-dye eggs come from Family Fun Magazine. 

Start with hard boiled eggs.

These photos are from last year, Aunt "D" and I hard-boiled a dozen eggs each

the night before so we would have plenty of blank canvases!

Then, set each child up with a colander over a sink

or, in our case, a shallow pan/dish.

Place one hard-boiled egg in the colander

and splash with some white vinegar.

Add a drop of food coloring.

Then, add another drop from one other color,

and gently swirl the egg around in the colander to distribute the colors. 

Yellow seems to make the best follow up color 

for most eggs if you don't want them to get muddy.

We did have success with a few eggs with 

drops of red, yellow, and blue spread out to make rainbows!

Let the colors sit for a minute to dry,

then rinse the egg in your colander under cool water in the sink.

Repeat for your next egg.... how easy is that?!

They'll tie-dye and come out beautifully and no two eggs will be alike!

Wishing you and your family an
