Eco Easter Egg Decor

Today the girls dabbled in the Easter Art of "Egg Dying."  I have always hated Egg dying because it seems as if the eggs always have minute cracks and the dye seeps in contaminating the eggs.  I know that PAAS is supposed to be safe but it just never seemed "RIGHT."

Rowan found this at WholeFoods last week when we were off buying groceries.

The first thought that crossed my mind was "How Brilliant" (insert Brittish accent) and the second thought was how expensive?

I know that sounds jaded but, in general, organic, non-toxic, green, natural, eco-freindly products tend to have a higher price tag.

We were pleasantly surprised by the relatively equivalent price to the PAAS and factored in the
 cost of the eggs that we would have to trash because the unfriendly ECO dye would have created
 meant that we were actually getting a better bargain for the price.

I just loved the packaging as well.  I am a big sucker for packaging.  It kind of goes with whole - presentation is everything.  Make it look good, organized, cute, adorable, professional, shiny, etc you can pretty much have a less than perfect product.

So - as we opened the cute dye kit we wondered - would it stand up to the cuteness and create safe adorable colored eggs??????

It got two thumbs up from the girls......

The only downside is that amount of time it takes for each egg to be dyed.

In this age of instant gratification we want everything to take mere minutes.  In order for the eggs to shine their brightest they needed

As little as 10 minutes in the dye and up to 20 minutes for some of the colors.

So - they read between each plop of the egg.....

The really cool thing was the color card that had them experimenting with how long, which cross dye and wiping the egg for special effects.......

The finished product?????

Turned out quite nice if Rowan does say so herself......

Happy Easter!!!

Christ is Risen!!
