Easy to Make Tie-Dye Easter Eggs for Kids

Tie-dye Easter eggs for kids

I’ve been searching for easy ways to decorate eggs with the boys for Easter. I came across these cool tie-dye Easter eggs by One Little Project and had to try it. I used plastic craft eggs from Walmart for this activity. They turned out just as good as the hard-boiled eggs. Make sure to use gloves so you don’t stain your hands. Hope you enjoy making these tie-dye Easter eggs with your kids!

Supplies:

  • Paper towel
  • Food coloring
  • Hard-boiled or plastic craft egg
  • Rubber bands
  • Gloves (optional)
  • Spray bottle filled with water

Directions:

  1. Start by wrapping an egg ( plastic or hard-boiled) inside a paper towel then tie it with a rubber band. If you don’t have a rubber band, use an elastic hair tie.
  2. Next, randomly drop food coloring on paper towel covered egg. Leave spaces in between the colors.
  3. Use a spray bottle to spray water all over the paper towel so the colors bleed together. If you don’t have a spray bottle, fill a cup with water and drip it off your fingers until the colors spread.
  4. Finally, gently squeeze the egg over the sink if there’s any extra water. Let it dry on a plate or tray for a few hours or overnight then unwrap it!
