Easy Egg Dye

Easter is such a special time of year for kids and adults alike.  Dying Easter Eggs as a family is a memory that can last a life time.  The Pulse of Wharton County..Spring 2013 shared a great recipe for “Shaving Cream Eggs.”  You only need the following 3 ingredients:

-Shaving Cream

-Hard Boiled Eggs

-Food Coloring

1.       Start by hard boiling as many eggs as you plan to dye.

2.       Next, fill a bowl or container with any type of shaving cream you would like.  It doesn’t have to be anything special, just make sure it is foam shaving cream and not gel.

3.       Now randomly place drops of food coloring and swirl with your hand making a marble effect in the shaving cream.  (Best if using dark colors.)

4.       Roll your egg around in the shaving cream being sure to coat the entire egg.  Let sit for 5-10 minutes and wipe off.

 

I hope you enjoy this activity.  I am thinking of trying to make chocolate-colored eggs to match me.  Happy Easter!!..Love Scout
