Ingredients
- 12 white shell eggs
- Pinch salt
- ½ cup white vinegar
- food coloring in various colors
- water
Instructions
- First, you will need to hard boil your eggs. Fill a pot with a couple inches of cold water, add the eggs, and then cover the eggs with cold water.
- Put the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
- After the water is boiling, add a pinch of salt and a splash of white vinegar. Then, turn the heat off and put a lid on the pot. Let it sit for 12-minutes.
- While you're waiting on the eggs, boil a kettle. Then, fill each of your jars or containers with boiling water and 2 teaspoons of white vinegar.
- Next, add as much or as little food coloring as you prefer.
- Once the eggs have sat for 12-minutes, allow them to cool completely before dying the eggs.
- Then, drop each egg one at a time into the jars of dye. Let them sit for 5-minutes to absorb the colors.
- Remove the eggs from the jars when they have reached a color you are happy with using tongs.
- Put your dyed eggs in an egg carton or on a paper towel to dry.
- Repeat the process for all the hard boiled eggs.
- Have fun and enjoy!
Notes
- Adding a pinch of salt and a splash of white vinegar once the water has reached boiling point will prevent your eggs from cracking. You will end up with perfectly set hardboiled eggs with their shells completely in tact.
- • We used gel food colouring in pink, purple, yellow and blue. Liquid food coloring also works well and you can use any colors you like!
- • We found that the yellow color took the best followed by the pink.
- • There can be experimenting involved to make the eggs the colors that you like. This makes this a great activity to do with children.
- • The eggs are still edible afterwards and the dye doesn’t transfer through the shells. • Storage: Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
