Happy Easter! Yesterday JK and DK visited and we coloured eggs like we’ve done before. Here’s the results…
Just dunking them in the dye (once again made by dissolving dye tablets in a vinegar and water mix) isn’t too exciting, so we first used a marker to create some more interesting designs.
I’m sure I don’t have to identify the above, but Ronald WcDonald, Gudetama and Ultraman all look wonderful on boiled eggs eggs!
A transparent crayon keeps the dye from colouring the egg, which is how the parts are kept white. It’s an imperfect method as you can see in this pic of the finished eggs:
Let’s just assume Ronald has some sort of wasting disease and both Doraemon spent the morning rolling in dirt! I’d say all things considered the ‘basket’ of eggs looks wonderful and probably much more interesting than in many other homes today!
We also tried another unusual method of colouring (again from a kit), which involved making a weird foam (KLS did this, using the included powder mixed with water and a hand mixer), then putting the dye on top and swishing the egg around. It didn’t work anywhere near it claimed to, was horribly messy, and I’m sure there were homes in America today where children created an ungodly mess using this kit!
In case you’re wondering, the K’s will eat the eggs 🙂
I think the Ronald WcDonald egg looks really cool.
