Our friend Amber had a great idea to try out some natural food dyes on Easter Eggs for the kiddos this year. We were lucky enough to be on her egg dying invite list, and we had a great time!
The ingredients used to make the dyes were turmeric, paprika, beets, blueberries, coffee, chai tea, spinach + raspberries!
We also let the kids color on the eggs with crayons prior to dying. Had I known the crayon would show up so well after being dyed, think I would have drawn on them more! Here’s Ruby doing a little work of her own on one of the eggs before coloring …
I think the end result was so cool! They look so rustic and sophisticated. I could see them in a basket at an Easter brunch with breads, spreads and wine.
Disclaimer: these take a long time! They sat in the dye from about 9:30am to 4:30pm.
We’re so grateful to Amber + Nora for hosting such a fun day!
