Dinosaur Eggs!

Dinosaur Eggs!
1. Boil your eggs and let them cool.
2. Lightly tap on the counter to make a bunch of little cracks. Some people whack them with a spoon.
3. Using one plastic bag per egg, put some food coloring in each bag.
4. Put one egg in each bag and SEAL or if you are using those weirdo folding sandwich bags, use a twist tie to be safe.
5. Sort of lightly smoosh the bag around to distribute the food coloring.
6. Let sit for a minimum of 30 min.
7. Rinse with water.
8. If you want, you can help set the color with a little pour of vinegar over them.
9. Peel!



We tried them ourselves, of course.

This was the first time EVER that none of my eggs cracked.

All bundled up with dye (food coloring).
Keep 'em in the fridge.

Alternative version - using traditional egg dye kits.
This one involves one egg per bowl, and then leaving the bowl in the refrigerator for a few hours. I'm not that patient.
