Leo and I dyed Easter Eggs! I know some may say its to early to be dying easter eggs, but really its not. Leo does not eat the Easter Eggs anyways we end up eating them.
We saved one for the Bunny, we drew a bunny on it and colored it nice!
We did not use the normal Paa’s egg dye this year, I decided to play and make my own with food coloring
and kool aid. I honestly will say in advance I did not like the kool aid method, it wiped right off and didn’t stick to egg. I used the food color that is gel and in little plastic jars, you see them in the picture. I mixed just about half cup of water, about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and the tip of a butter knife with a scoop of a food color of choice and stirred and stirred until almost completely dissolved.
I save all old food coloring and some was a little bit sticky so it left little broken pieces in the water.
The picture below shows what the little pieces of food coloring does to the egg when you leave them in there. Can you see the little spots on the egg? I love how this egg looks!!

Love it! I always used food coloring to dye Easter eggs. I never bought the little kits. I never thought to try kool-aid though. I love the dotted look on the egg.
Too cute my kiddos and I do this ever year no matter how old they are getting 🙂
i’m sure a lot of people these days are looking for some ideas on what to do with their egg for egghunt
those looks cute and easy to make. thanks for sharing
Kids enjoys this activity. We use food coloring and sometimes the marker. Egg looks lovely in different colors and designs.
Wow I haven’t dyed eggs for years, you have made me want to now though 🙂 Thank you x
