The Pleasure of Dyeing


Dyeing Easter eggs is always a pleasure in our house.

In years past, we tried the fancy little boxed kits with the buckets and stickers and sparkles and decided that good old-fashioned food coloring worked the best.

If you use crayons to draw on the eggs first, you get some fun designs that the dye won't adhere to.

I think we enjoy it as much as our kids...but there are only so many hard-boiled eggs needed in a household so Stuart and I were limited to two eggs each this year.

The end results? A plethora of colors and designs!

I loved the multi-colored ones, except I find my fingers usually get as colored as the eggs when I make those!
