2. Have the children dye their eggs using a natural dye (safe from toxins!)

• Beet Juice or Cranberry juice will make pink
• Grape Juice will make Lavender
• Orange peels, lemon peels or carrots will make Yellow
• Spinach or grass will make Green
• Blueberries will make Blue

To make your dye This is what you need to do.

1. I a pot add 4 cups of water and 3 tablespoons of vinegar.
2. Add your ingredients to make your colour. The more you use the brighter the color will be. Use 2-4 cups. 1 colour per pot. You can combine ingredients to make a different colour ie. Yellow + Green = Orange. Also a great learning experience for children!
3. Bring water and ingredients to a boil then simmer for at least 30 minutes.
4. Drain the dye into a container.
5. Add eggs to the  the dye, turning eggs over occasionally to allow for even colouring. Leave egg in dye depening on how deep you want the colour.
