Does anyone know of any cool tricks to use while coloring Easter eggs!

I was going to make the writing on them with crayons suggestion, but that's already been done. Hmmm... I'm not sure. When I was younger the thing that was the most fun for me was letting the eggs sit in the dye -forever- and make really bold, vibrant colors. Every now and then blending the colors (dying it one hue and then dunking it in another) was fun, but... I don't know that there's really anything fun or exciting to suggest. It was fun as long as they were pretty.

When my kids were growing up we used to boil the eggs and then draw designs on then (maybe even names) with crayons or even just wax. We would then put them in the dyes and when they came out the mane or design was left without color, the wax would only let the color go through to the eggs. Another thing that we would do is to color only part of the egg and then return the egg and color it in another direction with another color. You could have several colors that are increasingly darker that you started with the darkest color and dunk it only partly and then when that dried put it in the next lighter color so that you will wind up with eggs that are colored in circles.

this year we had a camo set and it was really neat. one thing it said was to put in one color dry add the stickers and put in a different color. we had the traditional set too and did some with that and they turned out really neat.

Years ago when my kids wre small ...we always used to boil the breakfast eggs on easter sunday morning in food colouring. A few drops in the pan of water does no harm,the colour comes out evenly. Maybe they could then be decorated with little stick on thingies!!!
