9 Easter Egg Dyeing Ideas For Kids
With Easter coming up, it's time to pull out all of the stops for your family's favorite DIY activity of the year. Get ready to start gathering your art supplies and food coloring, because every mom needs to prepare before sitting down and dyeing those eggs. And if you're getting bored with the same patterns and colors every year, there are dozens of different Easter egg dyeing ideas for kids that modernize the holiday tradition.
Try taking a little extra time away from deciding what to put in the kids' Easter baskets, and dedicate it to thinking of unique ways to dye eggs with them. From modern hues and designs, to fun shapes and patterns, there are many dyeing tricks that can work for both parents and kids. The best part? You can really make them however you'd like. Stick to one design option, or test out five of them at once — the choice is all yours. You can even pick an alternate dyeing method that can also help to ease that messy clean up later on too.
