Fun Easter Egg Coloring Ideas

Make your own food color dye…

Instead of buying an egg dyeing kit from the store this year, try making your own.

Combine 1/2 to 1 Tbs. of food coloring with 2 tsp. vinegar in a cup that is deep enough for an egg.  Add water to about the half-way point. Gently place the eggs into the cup with a spoon to avoid cracking. The longer the egg is left in the dye, the brighter the color will be.  Experiment with different combinations of colors.  Pat dry after removing from dye.

Fun & crazy stripped eggs…

Before placing eggs into dye cups, wrap various sizes of rubber bands around the eggs.  Place egg in dye and let sit.  Remove and pat dry, then carefully remove rubber bands.  Under where the rubber bands were, the egg will be white.Experiment with removing only a few rubber bands at a time and placing in other colors.
