Egg dyeing 101

1. Place a cup for each color on a tray.

2. Gather eggs for coloring.

3. Pose with "the golden egg" for Mommy. (Note clean hands.)

4. After carefully following the directions to make dye, begin gently placing eggs into cups using spoons to move eggs from one cup to another.

5. When your little brother turns his head to squeal in delight at how much fun this is, you can stick your whole hand in the cup. It is much easier than using a spoon.

Soon the entire work space will become a gigantic mess which will make the experience even more fun.

As shown here on little brother's face.

An aerial photo shows that this activity works easily for up to four children. One of which, is about to get dye dumped on his shirt. (Note the eggs lying about on the ground.)

At this point, mixing the colors together is a good idea. "Are we doing it right, Mom?" Huh, sure.

Just for fun, grab some white paper and make hand prints. This is Liam's art work.

And, this is Ben's. Love those hands.

Green monster.

Go ahead and do your feet while your at it.

Any questions?
