Dyeing Easter Eggs

On Saturday afternoon we dyed Easter eggs! Sofia really enjoyed dropping the egg into the dye, which caused the dye to splash everywhere, and I later found out that the dye actually does wash out of clothes! She was much more interested in eating the egg before she put it into the dye, but soon had more fun taking it in and out of the color. She lost interest after the first egg and after finally getting to eat a hard boiled egg, she went off to play.

Getting the dye ready


All the kids are ready to start


Sofia would much rather eat hers (yes, the shell is still on, but she we convinced her to dye it instead)


Putting her egg in the dye


And checking it's progress.....


Dropping it back into the color


Sucking her thumb during the wait. She obviously dyed more than just her egg - look at that hand!


The finished product! I wrote "Sofia" on it before she dropped it into the second color


She was set to eat an egg, so I peeled the shell off of another egg and she went to town


Yum!!!
