Coloring eggs for Easter

I must remember this at Easter.

Coloring eggs for Easter is a popular tradition in many parts of the world. Here are some tips on how to color eggs for Easter:

  1. Boil the eggs: First, you will need to hard-boil the eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Once the eggs are cooked, drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool.

  2. Prepare the dye: You can buy egg dye kits at most grocery stores or make your own dye using food coloring and vinegar. To make the dye, mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 20 drops of food coloring in a small bowl.

  3. Color the eggs: Once the eggs have cooled, you can start coloring them. Dip the eggs into the dye and let them soak for a few minutes, depending on how dark you want the color to be. You can also use a spoon or a small brush to apply the dye to the eggs.

  4. Add designs: You can create fun designs on the eggs by using stickers, markers, or wax crayons. To use stickers, simply apply them to the eggs before dipping them in the dye. To use markers or wax crayons, draw designs on the eggs before or after dyeing them.

  5. Let the eggs dry: Once you have finished coloring the eggs, place them in an egg carton to dry. You can also use a paper towel to blot any excess dye.

  6. Display the eggs: You can display your decorated eggs in an Easter basket or use them to play egg-hunting games. Just make sure to refrigerate any leftover eggs that you plan to eat.
