While I am no artist I love the creative license Easter eggs and the wide variety of ways that you can take a delicious egg and make it art. We&#8217;ve tried all kinds of methods and as the boys get older I am excited to see the variations of the process. \u00a0One thing is for sure, as long as we are celebrating Easter we will be decorating eggs. (<a href=\"https:\/\/boxmining.com\/ehdsajs3d\/\">https:\/\/boxmining.com<\/a>)  I love the process, the creativity and the whole family gathered around some bowls of coloured water waiting for the magic to happen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10630\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Dying Easter Eggs\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dyeing-Easter-Eggs-Collage-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>This year the boys wanted to use stickers and dye to do our eggs. I bought a pre-made kit of dye and stickers and got set up to dye some Easter eggs. I opted in the end to use a mixture of food colouring, water and a tbsp of vinegar to create the colours so that I didn&#8217;t have to deal with dissolving the colour tablets in the kit. With two impatient five year olds I felt that was easier and I have more control over the colour strength.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10631\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dying-Easter-Eggs-2015.jpg\" alt=\"Dying Easter Eggs\" width=\"950\" height=\"1312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dying-Easter-Eggs-2015.jpg 950w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dying-Easter-Eggs-2015-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dying-Easter-Eggs-2015-434x600.jpg 434w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Dying-Easter-Eggs-2015-300x414.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/>We created our Easter eggs in our pj&#8217;s just in case any of the dye got on our clothes. \u00a0But, it was a sure sign they are getting older it was a mess free experience! In no time at all the boys had dipped, dunked and fished out their Easter Eggs. \u00a0I chose to hard boil my eggs to make them more sturdy but if you prefer to blow the egg out then you will have lots of eggs to make some amazing Easter recipes.
