So fun and easy! You can dye Easter eggs naturally, with stuff that's already in your kitchen. No more tablets that stain everything--just beautiful, natural Easter eggs.
Show of hands—who has run frantically to the store at 10pm the night before Easter to grab a couple dozen eggs and some Easter egg dye?
Great news! You can dye Easter eggs naturally, with stuff that's already in your kitchen. You won’t have to fuss around with those tablets that stain everything on the planet, and your eggs will be dyed a beautiful rainbow of colors.
This is another great way to get your kids in the kitchen. Ask them what color they think the different ingredients will make. They may be surprised to learn that the colors don’t come out the way they expect!
Ingredients
1/2 head purple cabbage, chopped (makes blue eggs)
Skins of 4-6 yellow onions (makes orange eggs)
2 Tablespoons turmeric (makes yellow eggs)
2-3 beets (makes pink eggs)
Hard boiled eggs
White vinegar
Water
Jars for soaking the eggs in (I like these)
These colors will work whether your eggs are white or brown. And I can just about guarantee that even if the store is out of Easter egg dye, they won’t be sold out of purple cabbage. :)
