Simple Tips

Natural Egg Dyeing

XSmalleggWe’re lifting this idea right from Martha Stewart of all places! She (or they) have a great piece about dyeing eggs with beets, onions, cabbage, tumeric and coffee. The directions sound simple and doable, the eggs look arty. Preschoolers especially are curious about experimenting with food.

Our only tips: kids love dyeing eggs but their interest span may be shorter than we expect, and we boil extra eggs because some always crack somewhere in the process.

Happy Spring!
