Make a Craft Monday - Dyed Easter Eggs


Materials:

Hard Boiled Eggs
Vinegar (white)
Small bowls or cups
Water
Food Color


Directions:

Fill cups 1/2 full of water
Add 1 tsp of Vinegar for every 1 cup of water
Add drops of food color until you are happy with the color and then add 2 more drops.
Put Eggs in in cups
Let Dry -- to make a glossier egg - wipe with vegetable oil.


We made these eggs this afternoon with Melissa and her kids. Ella got a little messy - watch out for the food color -- it does stain.Ethan and Gavin just loved the coloring. It is fun to see you kids reach the age where they really start to enjoy friends. Ethan was so excited all day today that Gavin was coming over. He kept saying "Is it 4 yet mommy?" Have fun!!
