Hi Kids!
Instead of coloring your Easter eggs the same way you do year after year, try something different this year!
Tell mom and dad to let you all experiment a little.
Here's all you need.
1. Pink: Soak hard boiled eggs in cranberry or beet juice.
2. Blue: 2 heads of chopped red cabbage, 2 quarts of water, 6 tablespoons white vinegar.
Soak overnight and you will get a deep royal blue.
3. Green: Boil eggs with spinach
4. Lavendar: Soak hard boiled eggs in grape juice
5. Pastels: For soft pinks and blues, rub eggshells with blueberries and cranberries.
6. Rich Brown: Boil eggs in 1 quart of coffee
7. Beige: 4 cups of yellow onion skins. Boil 30 minutes to an hour (to adjust the shade of beige)
8. Sienna Tones: 4 cups of red onion skins. Boil 30 minutes to an hour. This color will be a rich
crimson the longer you soak.
Hope you all fun!
Love

As great of an idea as this is... hmmm.. I dont think its a good idea for my children to even touch a "real" egg.. Even though the eggs wont be "raw" and cant be busted over my dog Rockys head... I can see my little ones, hiding the eggs.. forgetting where they hid them... then 3 days later my house smelling like something dead.. Yeah! not such a good idea.. And knowing my kids they would do this intentionally... LOL

ReplyDeleteMy newsletter is done! Should be going out in the mail Monday.... Happy Friday!
Question, on #7 & 8, we are boiling the stuff alone right? To get the color? And then adding the already cooked eggs to soak?
ReplyDeleteShould the water be cooled before soaking?
