Dying Eggs Then

handwritten and highlighted 'Easter eggs!' and "I like mine bright!" 6 white eggs in the carton and 6 eggs in the small bowls of dye. photo of Mikey holding his carton of brightly dyed eggs.

Yearly traditions, like dying Easter eggs, provide a sense of predictability for our kids. Mikey likes the ease of the egg dying routine and he likes to display them, but he won’t even try one bite!  No problem, pal…more for the rest of us!

journal entry: "I love to dye Easter eggs! I like mine bright! We bake some of our eggs in 'bread nests.' Everyone helps clean up.

As always, this tradition takes place in old clothes or pajamas (no one sees your pajamas so stains are A-Okay) AND it takes place outside to prevent any mess or stress. And, of course, everyone helps clean up!
