Coloring Easter eggs
Coloring Easter eggs
Preparation
Before decorating your eggs, you need to hard-boil
them. Place the eggs in a large saucepan. Add cold
water - enough to completely cover the eggs. Place on
medium-high heat and bring water to the boil. Reduce
heat and simmer eggs for 9 minutes. Remove pan from
heat. Fill pan with cold water and let the eggs cool
completely before decorating.
If you're working with dyes of any sort, it's a good
idea to prepare your work area so you can avoid
messes. Cover your work surface with plastic (a
garbage bag will do - split it open and tack it to the
edges of your work surface with tape). Cover the kids,
too - a kitchen apron tied loosely around the neck
works well, or just have them wear old clothes.
11 Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs
1. Dying eggs with food coloring
To make food coloring dye, combine 1/2 to 1 Tablespoon
of food coloring with 2 tsp. vinegar in a mug or jar
large enough to contain one egg. Fill with cold water
and stir. Drop eggs in dye. The longer you leave them
in the dye, the darker the color. Experiment with
different combinations of colors - red mixed with blue
makes purple, yellow with a drop of red makes orange,
blue and yellow makes green, etc. When you remove the
egg from the dye, pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Coloring with crayons
Use crayons to draw all over the eggs. You can draw
pictures or just simple dots and patterns. You can
stop there, or you can drop your crayon colored eggs
into food coloring dyes (see above). The parts that
are covered with crayon will show through the dye.
3. Odds and ends
You can decorate your eggs using all kinds of craft
supplies and a little white glue. Try gluing on
sequins, buttons, glitter, or beads. Glue on stickers
or color with markers. Be creative!
4. Natural Dyes
In place of food coloring dyes, try using natural
dyes. Combine the dye (see below) with 1/2 Tablespoon
of vinegar with some cold water in a saucepan. Add raw
eggs (make sure there's enough water to cover the
eggs) and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 to
15 minutes (the longer you simmer, the darker the
color will be, but simmer at least 8 minutes so that
the eggs cook thoroughly).
Color chart:
Brown - the outer layers of onions, tea or coffee
Yellow - turmeric or saffron
Red - cranberries
Purple - beets
Green - spinach
Blue - blueberries
5. Elastic band art
Wrap elastic bands around hard cooked eggs, then drop
them in food-coloring dye. Remove eggs, pat dry with
paper towel and remove rubber bands. The parts of the
egg covered with rubber bands will not be colored.
Once the rubber bands are removed, you can drop the
egg into a different color dye.
6. Painting on eggs
Use undiluted food coloring and a paint brush to paint
on hard boiled eggs. Let the eggs sit in egg cups
until dry. You can also use tempera paints in place of
food coloring.
7. Sponge painted eggs
Pour some acrylic paint into a shallow dish. Add a
little water to thin the paint. Cut natural sponge
into small pieces. Clip one piece of sponge in the end
of a clothes pin. Dip the sponge into the paint and
dab the egg with it. Put the egg in an egg cup to dry.
8. Waxing eggs
Light a taper candle and drip wax all over hard cooked
eggs. When the wax is set, drop the egg into food
coloring dye. Remove from dye and pat dry with paper
towel. Scrape wax off of the egg. You can drop the egg
into a different color at this point, if you wish.
9. Marbled eggs
In a mug or jar large enough to contain one egg, place
1 Tablespoon of oil, 1 Tablespoon of vinegar and 1
Tablespoon of food coloring. Add enough water to cover
egg, stir quickly with a spoon and drop in hard boiled
egg. Pull egg out quickly and pat dry with paper
towel.
10. Swirled eggs
Use a sharp knife (kids should be supervised) to make
1 to 2 Tablespoons of crayon chips. Fill a large glass
jar with very hot water. Drop in some crayon chips.
When the chips start to melt, drop in a hard cooked
egg, swirl the egg around with a spoon. Remove the egg
and let it air dry.
11. Easter bunny eggs
Use food coloring dye or natural dyes to dye eggs in
solid colors. Dry with paper towel. For each bunny
egg, cut two oval shaped ears from colored paper. Glue
the ears to the top of the egg. Add googly eyes. Use
markers to add a small triangle for a nose and some
whiskers. Glue on a cotton ball for a tail.

BROWN BEARS
BROWN BEARS
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 stick butter, softened
2-3 cans refrigerator biscuits
Mix sugar, cinnamon and butter together until well blended. Take
the biscuits and roll in hands to form long snake like pieces. Butter
hands first to prevent sticking. Wrap the snake like dough around a
stick in a coil fashion. Cook over an open fire until cooked (should
appear brown). Roll the cooked dough in the cinnamon mix and
put some inside the hole the stick was in. One of the most kid-
friendly and easy camping recipes.
Premium frozen fruit bars.
Premium frozen fruit bars.
At nearly $2 per bar, frozen 'all fruit' or 'fruit and juice' bars may not be rich in calories, but they are certainly rich in price. Make your own at home — and get the flavors you want. The only equipment you need is a blender, a plastic reusable ice-pop mold (on sale at discount stores for about 99 cents each), or small paper cups and pop sticks or wooden skewers.
To make four pops, just throw 2 cups cut-up fruit, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice into a blender. Cover and blend until smooth. You might wish to add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water so the final mix is a thick slush. Pour into 4-ounce pop molds or paper cups, insert sticks, and freeze until solid.
