Mary loves Easter. The start of spring, flowers, joy, love and well...candy. : ) Nothing is more fun that seeing your little ones eyes light up when they see their basket, find those hidden eggs, and see the magic of dye eggs.
I love fellow Mom blogger, CreatewithMom. Below she has a fun and easy way to create Painted Eggs. We will be doing this soon and I will post some pictures of the results. If you do it send me some pics of your creations so I can share out work. Enjoy.
Painting eggs and Joy to share
We painted eggs using two different techniques. If the egg has been out for more than 2 hours don't consume.
To paint the eggs you will need...
eggs
food colouring
rubber band
kitchen paper towel
water
vinegar
The tie dye method
Damp a paper towel with water and put about a 1 tbsp of vinegar all over the paper towel. Spread different colour food colouring in a pattern. Place the egg and fold the paper towel to wrap the egg. Pour or sprinkle some water over it. Place a rubber band around it and leave it until the paper towel is dry. Remove the paper towel and see the colourful egg.
Rubber band method
Place a few rubber bands around the egg. Place the egg in 1 tbsp vinegar mixed with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp food colouring for a few hours until it becomes the colour that is preferred.
