My kids were so excited to color the eggs this year, but I was even more excited. Last year, I read about this easy way to dye eggs without staining your hands. I have waited 12 long months to give this try…..but it was worth it.
Color the Eggs
Of course after we dyed our eggs last year, I read an article in Family Fun about how you can use a whisk to dye eggs. It has to be a larger whisk and you separate it a little and put the egg in the center. My kids loved it.
Now for a little advice. Don’t think that you can lay the whisk down (unless you have a big strong bowl).?I tried to lay the whisk up against the side of a very small bowl (I know, what was I thinking) and the bowl and dye went all over the floor. UGH -By the way, you can’t tell in the photo, but it is snowing out.
Another trick that I read about (you guessed it, last year) was adding glitter to your egg. This was very easy and mess free -Seriously, it was not messy at all. Once your egg is dry, use a very strong two sided craft tape. My girls put strips of tape where they wanted the glitter to go on the egg. Next, they sprinkled glitter in a bowl and rolled the egg around. Once all the tape is covered with glitter….you have a beautiful “blingin’ egg.” Grab some fine glitter here.
I hope you enjoyed these two tricks and remember, there is always next year if you already colored your eggs!
