A color tablet, a little vinegar and some fizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. I think that will always be my favorite way to decorate Easter eggs. It’s simple, it’s not all that messy, and it’s tried and true.
It’s the way the kids and I have done it year after year after year.
Traditions.
They loved to spoon the dye over the top of the eggs and watch the colors intensify, and they tried to come up with new ways to combine the colors.
And I just loved listening to their chatter as they decorated.
“This will be the prettiest egg ever.”
“I’m going to make this one super green.”
“The Easter bunny will love our eggs.”
“Look at how this one came out, Mom.”
Traditions.
Well, there was that one time when we we were tempted by the other kits, the fancy kits, the artsy fartsy museum-quality egg kits.
We tried a kit with a dropper dye method.
Fail.
And we tried some fancy schmancy marbling methods.
Fail.
Some traditions just aren’t meant to be messed with.
Happy Easter!
I couldn’t resist hopping down the Hershey’s Bunny Trail by sharing my family’s Easter egg decorating tradition.
What’s your favorite way to decorate Easter eggs?
Hershey’s sent me an Easter basket of goodies to share with my family. The stories and traditions are my own.
We’ve tried a lot of the ‘fancy’ ways too and nothing beats the tride and true
Although it’s fun to add a little bit of white crayon before you dye so there’s drawings underneath the dye when you’re done!
I love do that with my kids and I can not wait!!!
I can still remember doing this as I was growing up. Always so much fun!
So excited for Easter and Easter dress shopping!
I agree with you. I have tried the all as well. I think the worst one was the one that had glitter in it. I like the same
fizzy kind. You mix it up and dye the eggs, and then throw away the plastic cups. Clean-up is a breeze! Isn’t it funny how traditions are great to hold on to?!
