Coloring Easter eggs is a fun and creative activity that can be done using household items.
Here are some steps you can follow:
1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 10-12 minutes.
2. Prepare the dye: Use household items such as food coloring, vinegar, and hot water. Mix 1/2 cup of hot water with 1 teaspoon of vinegar and a few drops of food coloring in a small bowl.
3. Dip the eggs: Carefully dip the boiled eggs into the dye using tongs or a spoon. Leave the eggs in the dye for about 5-10 minutes, depending on how dark you want the color.
4. Add designs: To make your eggs more festive, you can use crayons or stickers to draw or place designs on the eggs before dyeing them. The areas covered by the crayon or sticker will remain white, while the rest of the egg will absorb the dye.
5. Dry the eggs: Once you've finished dyeing the eggs, place them on a wire rack or paper towel to dry. You can also use a hair dryer on a low setting to speed up the drying process.
