I've got some kits from the pound shop for finger bunnies... cooking some hard boiled eggs to paint... decorating straw hats with flowers for an easter bonnet parade... looking at oval shapes and decorating them using patterns and stampers... using chalks on paving stones outside to make egg shapes... cutting, decorating and sticking egg shapes... buying some mini daffodils and planting a little easter garden... making Easter cards for friends & family...

Enjoy

Dye hard boiled eggs. And then have an egg hunt. That's my favourite thing to do!

I got loads of stuff to make and do from Tesco.

We will also made some easter bunny gingerbreads and some chocolate birds nests and eggs.

I put the eggs in a pan with a couple of tea bags and it hardboils them and dyes the shell at the same time. Can also do it with coffee.

I guess I'm spoiled but I usually buy the kits that have the food dye tablets. I even found them at Asda last year and bought them for 25p after Easter. Haven't found any this year yet, though. You have to mix it with about 3 tbsp of white vinegar and 1/4 cup of water so maybe that's why your's didn't turn out? The dye has to be really strong and you have to hold them in place for a bit.
