Yep.  We usually do not have too big of a mess.  I make sure that there is newspaper on the table so I don't have to freak out about  the table getting dirty.  Clean up is easy and everyone is happy.  We have alot of fun mixing the colors and creating designs.

Yes... it's a lot of fun and yes, they can make a mess. I learned long ago not to let us bother me becauses messes can be cleaned up.

Yes, it is fun to watch and let them do things. just be careful with some of the colors, I put a big waterproof tablecloth on the table and then if somethings spills a towel. but kids need to have lots of messy activity.

Yes, it has always been a tradition to dye eggs with my 2 and they are now 12 and 14 and we still do it!! We now have my sister and her two little ones come over and join in the fun. It can get a bit messy, but I'm a clean freak, so I don't really let things get to out of hand. LOL

No we dont dye eggs, not because of the mess but because eggs are my sons favorite food, so we hard boil them but then he will sneak and eat every last one while they are cooling off before hand never get to the dying part. So we just dont dye them and hes ok with that as long as we hard boil some for him to eat

Yes we did them on Sunday. I hate messes lol I know I need to learn to relax so we had the dye cups in the sink and let the kids just put the eggs in there and then they put stickers on them when they were dry.
