Psychedelic Eggs for Easter
Psychedelic eggs add a fun, funky touch to a traditional basket. And the decorating technique is so simple, even the littlest egg artists can help.
CRAFT MATERIALS:
A colander
10 hard-boiled white eggs
1/2 cup of white vinegar
Vibrant food coloring (we used McCormick Neon Food Coloring)
Time Needed: Under 1 Hour
1. Place several hard-boiled eggs in a colander in the kitchen sink and splash them with the vinegar.
2. Drip yellow food coloring on the eggs.
3. Gently agitate the colander for a few seconds to help the color spread. Let the color set on the eggs for 30 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with up to two shades (any more and your colors may get muddy), allowing each to set for 30 seconds.
5. After the last color has set, give the eggs a light rinse with water and let them drain for a minute or two. Air-dry them on paper towels.
