The other day I hard boiled eggs like I do every few weeks, and I decided that Jack and I were going to color eggs again. We did it for Easter and loved it, so why not do it more often? I chose fall colors this time (yellow, orange, green and brown) and I think they turned out great!
I started out with my tools :
The paper towel roll cut up into little egg drying stands works best if they’re not glued together. For the colors, I followed the ‘recipes’ on the back of the food color box.
One egg must have had a crack in it when I put it in the pot. We didn’t color this one, but it sure was fun to eat after we were done coloring the rest of the eggs.
I have a feeling we’ll be dying eggs for every holiday coming up. Thanksgiving will be the same, but Christmas may look a tad different.
I’m linking this up with La-La’s Home Daycare Holiday Kid Craft link up. Hop on over to see what other holiday crafts have been posted.
What a good idea! I love Easter Eggs. Why should they be limited to Easter :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! For Christmas let him draw snowflakes (X's) on them with a white caryon before dying them.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. I have not dyed eggs with my kids yet. I am really dreading it. So I am putting it off as long as possible.
