Today we had fun coloring easter eggs with things we already had around the house.
Coffee, spices, teas, cocoa, grape jelly, and cookie sprinkles
(Not sure why my picture won't rotate...)
We dissolved the powders with some hot water in individual mugs and added a splash of vinegar to each mug.
We added boiled eggs carefully.....and waited.
Gotta have cute helpers to do this!
I thought the eggs turned out pretty well for trying this out on the fly.
We got a few speckled eggs (because mommy didn't dissolve the spices enough??). We got a nice variety though. The gray/purple (grape jelly) one on the farthest right says "Noah" that I wrote in white crayon before dipping. Most of the greens are from the cookie sprinkles.
Isaac had fun counting the eggs. He says, "Two, Three, Two, Three...."
The best part was the eggs were on sale and I had a coupon. So a good little 85-cent activity. =)
