Ingredients
Hard-boiled eggs
Vinegar
Food coloring
Directions
Mix 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon vinegar and 10 to 20 drops food color in a cup to achieve desired colors. Repeat for each color. Dip hard-boiled eggs in dye for about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon, wire egg holder or tongs to add and remove eggs from dye.
What happens when you mix yellow dye with blue dye? Red dye with blue dye? Yellow dye with red dye? Try using a white crayon to make designs on the hard-boiled egg; then place the egg in the dye. What do you observe? Be creative.
Enjoy making egg salad with the eggs once your child is ready to let them go.
