Coloring Eggs..

One Easter tradition that we stick to every year is to color Easter Eggs... This year we only colored 12 eggs, but the kids actually did it on their own with Paul and I watching..

We made our own dyes using food color and vinegar... It was fun and science all wrapped into one...

Food coloring dye

Food coloring
hot water
white vinegar
small bowls or cups
slotted spoon


For each color measure 1/4 tsp. food coloring in small bowl. Add 3/4 cup hot water and 1 tbsp. white vinegar to each color. Add eggs and allow to sit until they are the desired color. Remove with slotted spoon.

Here are some pictures of our fun...
