Nothing quite says spring like pastel-colored Easter eggs. Many of us probably have fond memories of coloring them with our mothers or hunting for the brightly colored eggs hidden amongst tall grass and trees.
Dyeing hard-boiled eggs is a fun afternoon activity to do with children that doesn't involve any special ingredients - you most likely already have everything you'll need for the task.
My three-and-a-half year-old daughter has never really eaten an entire hard-boiled egg before. She's asked me to make them and then is mystified by their appearance. She likes to remove the white to find the yolk in the middle. But after we colored the eggs she was suddenly really interested in eating her beautiful egg - and she ate the whole thing.
So go ahead, dye some eggs for fun, and maybe your child will be encouraged to try a new food in the process!
