Whether you ran out of time, the store shelves are empty, or you just want to use a more safe and natural way to dye your Easter eggs, this is a fun project you can enjoy with your kids! It’s nice to think outside of the box….the store bought Easter egg dye box, that is. I wanted to dig through my kitchen and experiment with different items that would naturally and safely dye a hard-boiled egg…and here’s what I found:
Let’s get started!
After simmering for 30 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool completely and strain into a small bowl or container. Next, add your hard-boiled eggs and let soak in the dye for 30 minutes or to the desired shade.
Whether you try these, or experiment with your own concoctions, I hope you enjoy this special holiday and stay safe! I’d love to know if you did try a different ingredient and how well it worked, please feel free to leave a comment!
