Hand-decorated Easter eggs

Here's a fun activity for all the children in your house

Hand Decorated eggs

Hard boil a half dozen eggs.

Here's a quick tip for the perfect hard boiled egg.  

First 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 a minute or two at the most.  Take the pot off the stove and let the eggs stand for 20 minutes.  Then put the eggs into a bowl of cold water, ready to peel.

Have the children and/or adults in your home decorate the hard boiled eggs with crayons.

Then, 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.

PS I'll post a pic when our eggs are done :-)
