Dyed Eggs
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
Play with the premise that oil and water don't mix to produce patterns even the Easter bunny couldn't copy.
- Materials
-
- Eggs
- Newspaper
- Teacups and spoons
- Food coloring tablets or paste
- Vinegar
- Vegetable oil
- Paper towels
- Instructions
-
-
Boil one dozen eggs for each dyer.
-
Spread out lots of newspaper to protect the work surface. Then gather up one teacup for each color and a big spoon for each cup.
-
Dissolve the tablet, or dab of paste, in a cup of hot water mixed with 1/4 cup vinegar. Add several drops of oil to some of the cups.
-
Let the eggs cool, then dip to your heart's content. Try dipping an egg first in an oil-less dye, and then in one with oil. (The dye won't stick where the oil touches.)
-
Let each egg drip on a white paper towel, and you've got homemade place mats for Easter morning breakfast.
-
- Tips:
- Regular food coloring tablets work great and are readily available, but food coloring paste from cake supply stores will produce richer, darker colors.
