A Colorful Delight for All Ages!
Looking for a fun and vibrant activity that can brighten up your day? Look no further than Rainbow Eggs! These beautifully decorated eggs are not just for Easter; they’re perfect for any time of the year and are a wonderful way to bring out your inner artist.
Ingredients
- Eggs – ideally large as they have a perfect shape for decorating.
- Food coloring – several colors red, blue, green, yellow, etc. to create a vibrant palette.
- Water – to mix with the food coloring.
- Cotton ear buds – for dipping and dabbing the colors onto the eggs.
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Start by hard boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and reduce heat, allowing to simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Once done, cool them in an ice bath.
- Prepare the Dye: In separate bowls, mix different food coloring with a small amount of water. Aim for vibrant colors; the more dye, the more intense the color!
- Get Creative: Take a cotton ear bud, dip it into one of the dye mixtures, and gently dab it onto the surface of the egg. Let your imagination run wild—swirls, dots, and patterns are all welcome!
- Dry and Display: After decorating, place the eggs in an egg carton and let them dry completely. Once they’re dry, your beautiful Rainbow Eggs are ready to be displayed or enjoyed!
