Tips and Tricks for Easter Egg Coloring

March 30, 2015 By Thaleia 13 Comments

You know those cute pictures of young kids making complete messes. Yes, the ones with dye cups being spilled and freaking their auntie out,lol! How about my best tips and tricks for Easter egg coloring!

Egg coloring tips

 

We always meet at Grandma’s (my mom) house to color eggs with our local cousins. I think it’s a fun tradition that is worth the mess! Over the year’s we have learned a few tips or tricks for Easter Egg coloring which I want to share with you.

A few tips or tricks for Easter Egg coloring! #Easter #KBNmoms

1. Cook a couple dozen more eggs then you think you will need.

It seems that no matter how many eggs we have hard boiled that we never have enough. Our basic rule of thumb is a dozen eggs per each child.

2. Be sure to have aprons for all the children.

We luckily have acquired thick cloth aprons over the years. We even have enough to bring for my niece’s to wear.

3. Cover your surface with newspaper or plastic tablecloth.

You can almost always be sure that someone will spill a cup of dye. An accident will happen due to the excitement or the age of the children involved in the egg coloring.

4. Pick out fun accessories for your eggs.

We use white or clear crayons for designs but also have shrink wraps and stickers handy to decorate our eggs. Sometimes they are goofy cartoon characters and sometimes cutesy Spring designs.

So here goes to a super quick round-up of egg coloring cuties:

    I’m so glad I saved one of the plastic tableclothes from my daughter’s birthday party a few weeks ago. It came in handy when we dyed eggs this morning. Unfortunately, the cup of spilled dye ended up all over the floor too. 😉

    Awww… we used to do this at my grandparents’ house as kids too. My Grandfather was the Grand Knight for the Knights of Columbus at our church for a few years, and they would hide hard boiled eggs for all the kids in church after every mass on Easter – so we literally had to color 100s of eggs! So fun! Thanks for linking up at #WeLoveWeekends

    Looks like great fun. Do you explain the analogy of the egg?

    With 6 kids coloring eggs it’s hard to have enough eggs without feeling like you will have too many hard boiled eggs, lol.
