Project #107: Colored Easter eggs

Colored Easter eggs by Irene Hoofs from Bloesem

Here's perhaps the easiest craft project you can think of. But my 3 year old son loved it. When it comes to Holidays I am pretty old-fashioned and coloring of eggs with Easter is a simple must in my family :) I remember growing up and doing this with my mom and no w I am happy to do it wiht my sons.. It doesn't matter whether the eggs are not evenly colored... most important is let your kids do it and let them have fun playing with the colors.

what you'll need:

*eggs
*food coloring powder in different colors
*white wine vinegar
*water
* bowls, spoons
*butter

Step 1:
boil eggs for about 10 minutes
Step 2:
add vinegar, water and food coloring powder in a small bowl
Step 3:
place the luke-warm eggs into the bowl
Step 4:
turn over and over or porr the coloring over the eggs with a small spoon.
Step 5:
let them dry on a seperate tray or plate
Step 6:
once dry grease them with a little bit of butter for a nicer shine.
