Easter Egg Decorating Ideas For Kids

Back before all the cartoon characters and super heroes entered the picture there was only one way to color Easter Eggs. And believe it or not - it was FUN! If you're not really into all those stickers and messy containers and dyes, then this is the easy way to color eggs. And you probably already have everything you need right in your own kitchen cupboards.

What you'll need:
Hard-boiled eggs
Ordinary food coloring
Boiling water
Vinegar

Containers for the dye
Soup spoons

Directions:

Use one container or cup for each color you want to make.
In each cup place 1 teaspoon of vinegar and at least 20 drops of food coloring.
Add 1/2 cup of boiling water to each cup.

To dye your eggs simply place them in the cups or containers of dye and gently turn them with the spoon until they've reached the desired intensity. The longer you leave the eggs in the dye the darker the color.

Try dipping half the egg in one color and the other half in another color. You can also mix your food coloring to get even more colors.

Remove eggs from dye and place on a paper towel to dry.

Decorate with stickers or markers or whatever crafty ideas you can come up with!
