Double Dipped Egg



Multi colored eggs are fun to make. All you need is an egg, some food coloring and vinegar, and some masking tape.
.
Here's how. Make a dipping solution by putting enough vinegar to cover an egg in a cup with about 12 drops or so of food coloring in as many colors as you'd like to make.
.
For your first color cover the parts of your egg you'd like to keep white or save for another color with masking tape and dip your egg until it is the color you would like.
.
Remove from the dye and remove the masking tape (drying it while you go so the dye doesn't leak!).
.
Completely dry the egg and then reapply masking take where over all of the color and white areas you'd like to keep. Leave a little for dying the second color.
.
Ok you get the picture ba bye!

Easter Egg Maracas





My little girl is so creative. She is always inventing things! She came up with these Easter egg maracas all on her own one day! I thought it was quite ingenious! She's such a smartie pants!

This is how they are made. Plastic Easter eggs, beads or anything little that can shake, sticks to go in the bottom, and something to hold them shut while you shake them. I used tape but she liked the sticker idea better.

She's one smart cookie don't you think!
