A Less Messy Way to Dye Eggs

I saw this great idea in Family Fun Magazine. To dye Easter eggs, put the egg in a wire whisk. This will prevent the kids from dropping the egg in the dye and letting the dye splatter everywhere.

Love this idea.

YES- We are doing that this year. What an ingenious idea. (Now if I just had more than one whisk)

We did this with our nearly 2 year old and it worked great...until she started flipping the whisk all around! I suggest sitting very close by! :)

Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
