Coloring Easter Eggs

Egg coloring is a high art form at our house. We usually use several types of coloring kits and do several dozen. This was the first year Caelun really got the whole gist of it. Abbi indulged him and then got really arty when he went to bed. It was a fun glorious, technicolor, mess to clean up, but oooohhh was it fun. The eggs were fun to take pictures of as well and we then had lots of deviled eggs to bring to the egg hunt at the farm. Yeah for coloring Easter eggs.

Daddy gets Caelun started.

This kit was kind of nice in that the eggs dropped down in little cups that had tops and you then shook them around. This was a perfect  no-mess method designed with a ferret in mind.

Put the dye in with the vinegar and water.

Abbi got out another kit with sponges and assorted other techniques.

Caelun watched for a bit before he went to bed.
