Dyeing Easter Eggs

The other day Megan and I spent some time dyeing Easter Eggs. Megan has just discovered hard boiled eggs and I knew she would love dyeing them. So with Easter just around the corner we set thing up to turn white eggs in to rainbows. After all surfaces that could be harmed were covered, Megan couldn't wait to get things started.

Just getting a closer look at the fizzy egg dyes dissolving. (yes I was a little nervous she was going to accidentally bump a full glass of dye all over the new counter tops)

Attempting to make pretty designs on the eggs with a crayon before dyeing them. They didn't turn out but it wasn't that big of a deal because Megan was just impressed that the eggs changed colors.

She was very careful to make sure she didn't drop them in the dye. She placed all of the eggs in the dye without splashing (I was impressed)

Look at all of the pretty eggs!

After a nap, Megan couldn't resist putting stickers on the eggs. Notice the ton and a half of stickers that came with the kit...Megan put 1 on each egg and refused to add more. Weird! I figured the eggs would be covered with stickers they way she got so excited to put the stickers on.

Putting an Easter basket together for Grandma and Grandpa before they left for their cruise. Hard boiled eggs for Grandpa and pink Peeps for Grandma! She had fun and helped with everything from start to finish. Megan is becoming such a great helper with projects like these. She is just so much fun to watch. I love my little learning sponge (I say that because she remembers everything and will ask questions to figure out why. Then does a little recap to make sure she has the information/direction correct.)

So it goes without saying that Megan had a great Easter looking for her own Easter basket. The Easter bunny was very good to her, she got lots of puzzles and games for outside but just a few pieces of candy (I sent Mr. Bunny a thank you for not loading her up with sugar)
