You start with cold water in a pan Add your eggs carefully Cover the eggs with water about an inch above all the eggs Bring the eggs to a boil and remove from the heat Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes Take the eggs and put them in cold water till cooled Drain the eggs and let them dry on a towel for about an hour Put the eggs in the fridge The next day you get six coffee cups Put some vinegar in the bottom, about 1/4 inch deep Take food coloring and add to each cup to get desired colors Add water to each cup so eggs will be completely covered Red, Yellow, Blue Red and Yellow to get Orange Yellow and Blue to get Green Red and Blue to get Purple A total of about 24 drops per cup You can add different amounts to get different colors 22 drops of yellow and three drops of red gives you an orange sunset Put eggs into dye for four minutes Move the eggs around with Paas wire egg dipper Let dry for an hour There are some different ways you can dye eggs Put rubber bands around egg Dye half the egg in one color and half in the other color Draw egg with crayons before dying Put stickers on eggs before dying to create shapes on eggs Use a plastic bowl you can throw away and add water Use different colors of fingernail polish to water Move them around with a toothpick Add an egg to get a swirly pattern onto the egg Eat the eggs up within a week after coloring Enjoy!

About this poem:
Colored my Easter eggs yesterday. Enjoy making them every year. I get a Betty Jane hollow bunny every year with Peeps, Cadbury eggs, and jelly beans. When I was a child I would save my chocolate bunny in the freezer and shave off some of the chocolate with a knife to make it last a long time.
Macrad... That was the best workshop I've done in a few minutes! Thanks for sharing... I wish my granddaughter was near... Would love to make a few with her... happy Easter!
