Coloring Easter Eggs

Although it was too cold for outdoor hunting, we went ahead and colored some Easter eggs anyway. It was the first time that we've done this activity with the girls, but it was just like I remember from childhood. Although, there was one new twist...

Caroline ate one of the Paas color tablets! I guess by now I should anticipate this type of behavior from little sis, but it didn't even cross my mind that it might look like candy to her. Luckily, the box said "non-toxic," so the only after-effect was a blue diaper 48 hours later!

Jordi got the hang of things right away, and really seemed to enjoy the whole process (except, perhaps, waiting for them to dry!)

Here we are, showing Caroline the proper use of Easter egg dye. As Caroline says, this one is "ELLOW!" (She's recently gotten the hang of colors, and likes to show off her new-found knowledge.)

Next time, I'll post some pictures from Easter morning...
