Good Morning!!
Happy Easter!!
Hope your day is wonderful!!
Here are some pictures from our morning!!
Leo and I dyed Easter Eggs! I know some may say its to early to be dying easter eggs, but really its not. Leo does not eat the Easter Eggs anyways we end up eating them.
We save one for the Bunny which we drew a bunny on it and colored it nice!
We did not use the normal Paa’s egg dye this year, I decided to play and make my own with food coloring
and kool aid. I honestly will say in advance I did not like the kool aid method, it wiped right off and didn’t stick to egg. I used the food color that is gel and in little plastic jars, you see them in the picture. I mixed just about half cup of water, about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and the tip of a butter knife with a scoop of a food color of choice and stirred and stirred until almost completely dissolved.
I save all old food coloring and some was a little bit sticky so it left little broken pieces in the water.
The picture below shows what the little pieces of food coloring does to the egg when you leave them in there. Can you see the little spots on the egg? I love how this egg looks!!
Here are some pictures from our little egg dying fun!!
