How To Dye An Egg With Kitchen Roll

I wanted to do this dye an egg with kitchen roll last year.  I even had all the eggs ready, I blew all the insides out of whole bunch of them, but ultimately, I ran out of time.  Thankfully because they no longer had their insides and they had been washed I have been able to use them this year.

Make sure you follow my Easter board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pins for later.

To do this dye an egg with kitchen roll you will need:

• Egg
• Kitchen roll
• Glass of vinegar
• Elastic band
• Felt tip pens

If you are doing this activity with younger children, it may be easier to just hard boil the eggs rather than blow out their contents.  They will be slightly sturdier.  If you do hard boil them first, make sure they are completely cool before giving them to little ones.

Decorate your kitchen roll with your felt tip pens.

Wrap your egg up in the kitchen roll and secure the top with an elastic band.

Dip the whole thing into a glass of vinegar and then leave it on a tray to dry.

When it has completely dried, remove the kitchen roll to be left with a beautifully dyed egg.

Tips

• Use washable pens rather than permanent ones.
• Colour in a wide area on the kitchen roll so that the whole egg is covered with colour.
• Darker/bolder colours show up better than pastel ones.
• Make sure the kitchen roll is snug against the egg.
