While baking your Kneaders Easter Strata recipe in the oven for breakfast, egg-coloring fills in the time. It’s not even bunny how much our Easter eggs are to dye for… see what we did there? Hopefully these puns are cracking you up as much as us.

Egg-coloring can be egg-cellent for all ages. If you’re as egg-cited as we are to egg-color, you’ll want to be sure to check out our tips and tricks for making semi-long-term Easter decor!

Cool Tools for the Eggs

• Rubber bands: These are useful to wrap around for some fancy designs.

• Nail polish: Don’t eat your eggs after you paint with nail polish, but the colors are unbeatable!

• Lemon juice: Using lemon juice instead of vinegar to prepare the eggs is a healthier approach, and more tasty. 

• Stamps: Having some pre-drawn figures always helps

• Markers: Because why not?

Ideas for Looks

• Favorite Meme: Is there a simple design to create a meme? That’ll keep the Easter bunny laughing.

• Animals: Our favorite is coloring an egg yellow, then making it look like a plump chick! Other ideas include a rabbit (with some cute felt ears), a cow (imagine the black spots!), a panda bear, a bear, a dog and more.

• Vegetables or Fruit: A little bit of hot-glued-on felt goes a long way

• • Strawberries
  • Carrots 
  • Raspberries
  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Tomatoes
  • Pumpkins
  • Raddish
  • Potato
  • Get creative!
• Sprinkles: These always add to the fun!

Multiple Methods to color eggs

• Natural methods: Use your resources already on your grocery list to color your eggs! Beet juice, onion skins, turmeric and spinach are great natural egg-colorings. 

• Kool Aid or Crystal Light: These drink mixes add an interesting pigment that is still edible!

• Shaving Cream/Whipped Cream: Mix some shaving cream with food coloring to add a stunning effect to the eggs. Use whipped cream if you plan to eat the eggs afterward.

Spray Paint: Shake some spray cans to add to the mix!
