It’s not a super messy activity, but these dyes can stain, just like any other dye. Make sure you have your area protected and you’re not wearing your absolute favorite outfit.

Here’s both of our dyes and after we dunked our eggs in there you can see the beautiful color we achieved! If you use them with the shell on you’ll see that the eggs will be much lighter. Since we use free range eggs we find that the brown eggs don’t really hold color well. This is how we can dye Easter Eggs and keep eating our healthy eggs too!

    This is so so awesome!!! I’m always looking for natural ways to replace things in our foods, and I typically just avoid food dyes altogether. I can’t wait to give this a shot though when my son gets a little older! Thanks so much for sharing <3

    Does the egg take up the beet and turmeric flavor? And is the vinegar necessary? Just don’t want to add any pronounced flavors.

      They do take on a slight flavor, but not too much! 🙂 You can leave the vinegar out of some colors –
