Easter Eggs

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.
