Ingredients:
--1/2 cup boiling water for each color of food coloring to make egg dye
--vinegar
--food coloring
--hard-boiled eggs (completely cooled & dry)
Utensils:
--measuring cup
--scissors
--masking tape
--tablespoon
--1 large cup for each egg dye color
--1 soup spoon for each egg dye color
--stickers (optional)
--paper towels
Place a few drops of food coloring in each cup. Pour 1/2 cup boiling water into each cup with the food coloring. Add 1 TBS vinegar to each cup of colored water. Stir with the spoons to mix well. Set the cups of dye aside.
Using scissors, cut the masking tape into strips, designs, letters and shapes. Stick the masking tape shapes on the eggs and rub with fingernail or back of spoon to make the tape stick to the egg.
Add stickers if desired, rubbing these in the same way.
Next, carefully lower the egg into a cup of food coloring using a soup spoon.
Gently move, roll & dip the egg thoroughly in the egg dye with a spoon so the dye is spread evenly over the egg.
When the color is as dark as desired, lift the egg out of the dye. Dry the egg gently with a paper towel. Remove the masking tape & stickers from the egg.
If desired, place the egg in a different cup of dye, repeating the process. Continue until the eggs are bright & colorful.
