Re: Coloring eggs
Thank you! It would be interesting to experiment with all the different ways. Tie dying eggs piques my interest in particular.
Thank you Emmie, this sounds fun, the kid in me is excited to try this! Thanks for the idea!

My niece was pretty bored when we were doing that egg-crafting project I mentioned a few posts back. She'll be much happier this Sunday after the "Easter Bunny" has come for a visit, leaving presents and eggs.

Hi , you boil the eggs and let them cool for a while, then you use a kit, one of these, https://www.target.com/p/5pk-easter-...E&gclsrc=aw.ds you dye the Easter eggs, you use the tablets, add vinegar and water to this and then you put your eggs in it and your eggs will be difficult colors. Or if you enjoy using paint or add ribbon or stickers or sparkles or rhinestones or add anything else to the eggs to make it colorful and you can buy this from the different grocery stores and then have fun decorating the eggs to make them pretty for Easter. I hope you can try this one day, you will have so much fun.

There are more than one way to do colored eggs! Typically you hard boil the egg in water so the inside in cooked before doing the craft. Some people rather leave the eggs raw and then use them for an Easter brunch.
With painting, you use the really skinny brushes and I would suggest using pastel colors instead of bold colors as that'll be more "spring" vibes. Usually egg decorating kits come with a stand you can place the egg on while you paint.
Recently, my mum found a product on Amazon that you lay the cooked egg on. I strongly recommend hard-boiling the egg with this one, as the momentum and pressure is pretty strong (think of when you're doing tie-dye paper) and can crack the egg! Like with the paintbrushes, use thin pastel-colored markers and try not to apply too much pressure. I felt like a pro as I watch a lot of woodworking on HGTV. 
It's just a way too add some decor to the Easter holiday. For me, I have plastic colored eggs that I bought off Amazon and have them hanging on my year-round decorative "Christmas" tree.

I haven't colored eggs in a long time, but I think it would be a lot of fun to do it again!

Re: Coloring eggs
I’d love to color some but only my dad would eat the eggs so a lot would go to waste.

Do you still enjoy coloring eggs and do you use your eggs for anything?
We still do this with our little cousins, it's a lot of fun and I always use the colored eggs to make breakfast the next morning for everyone, I'll make eggs goldenrod and make other food.
