interesting....

we tried this last year and you have to leave the eggs for a while to be bright. but they turned out really cool!!

Interesting idea.  I may try it this year.

I normally dilute dye pastes that are for used for frosting cakes.  The dye is food-grade so I'm not really concerned about "toxins."

Interesting but probably not.

Interesting.

This is good because i try and use as many nontoxic items in my home as possible!!!!

I might try this, but not this year. We usually just use plastic eggs and put goodies inside, like coins, m&m's or other small things.

i never thought about this!!! i have lots of dyes and this would be interesting... i may have to play around a bit! thanks for the idea!

I don't dye eggs...we just don't like them.  My kids always just enjoyed hunting the plastic eggs with a surprise inside.

It took me forever to find the "recipe" I used last year but I finally retrieved it.

• For extra-rich dye colors, use food coloring
paste (available at craft and cake decorating stores).
Dissolve a dab of paste in a cup of hot water mixed
with 1/4 cup cider vinegar.

I used a mini whisk to dissove the dye and even then a little bit remained solid on the bottom.  Oh, and it will stain your hands!  But you get great color saturation.
