Easter Egg decorating

An easy activity for all the children in your home

1. Hard boil a half dozen eggs.

(A quick tip for the perfect hard boiled egg)

Place your eggs in a pot, then gently fill the pot with icy cold water, to about an inch above the eggs. Bring the pot to the boil for two minutes at the most.  Then, take the pot off the stove and let the eggs stand for 20 minutes.  Put the eggs into a bowl of cold water, ready to peel.

2. Decorate the hard boiled eggs with crayons.

3. Easter Egg Dye

Dunk the hard boiled eggs into a mixture of 1-2 cups of cold water with 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1-2 tablespoons of food colouring.  Soak the eggs in the dye for approximately five minutes.
