DYED EASTER EGGS
For many households, dying eggs for an easter activity is on the agenda in the build-up to the big day, and with our simple instructions below (including a useful parent hack!), we crack the method to make this as hassle free as possible! Top tip – the longer you leave the eggs in the deeper your colour will come out – so feel free to egg-periment!
1- Hard-boil your eggs and let them cool
2- Half-fill a muffin tray with boiling water & 1 x teaspoon white vinegar (keep away from the little ones until cooled down)
3- Add in 10 drops of food colouring to each segment - Place the hardboiled eggs in for a few minutes
4- Use tongs to turn the eggs over and leave for another 3 x minutes
5- Decant each egg into a clean muffin tin and leave until dry
When your eggs are dry, why not try our next easter activity to display them, in the perfect Easter craft for older children!
