Egg Crazy

I know, enough with Easter already! But Theo and Adrian were very excited about this one. We have never dyed Easter eggs with the little kids before (you know, because I am a mean mom). We just never got around to it. But this year, we went a little crazy and dyed numerous eggs, numerous colors. Theo was very happy and his favorites were the tie-dyed ones.

We also dyed eggs for Greek Easter, the goal being a deep, red color. I tried the onion skin method and the fabric dye method. The ones dyed with onion skins turned out more brown, but were still pretty and actually edible. While it took a large amount of onions to obtain all the skins (you want the brown skins, not the red onion skins, which dye the eggs a very nice purple), it was fun to use such a "natural" dye.

Of course we played the egg cracking game. The owner of the uncracked egg is the winner.
