Oh, how I love pulling these glass punch cups each year! They belonged to my grandma and they make the perfect little vessel to color eggs in. Sam did the honors of adding the colored tablets into each cup ...
And then poured the vinegar/water mixture in:
I set up a table in the family room and gave everyone a plastic tray (which I purchased years ago and we use for a lot of things!):
Jimmy was so excited to color eggs. It's kind of anti-climatic at his age to simply drop an egg into colored water and wait for it to color, but his excitement was contagious.
Sam opted to wear gloves for a good portion of the event, but learned that they were a bit too big for her (they were Steve's) and that they actually hindered her ability to turn the eggs and grip them properly.
Jack tried a more subtle approach of holding his egg suspended in color (thus, only covering half of the egg) and then turning it over to dip it in a different color.
We gave Jimmy a few extra privileges ... which is why we always do our coloring on a tray with a disposable table cloth underneath!
The girls were very serious about their coloring!
Not one egg was broken during the whole process!
So happy with his finished products:
Of course, pink was her first color of choice! If we had purple, that would have been her second choice.
Sam made some special patterns and I love how they turned out.
Jack was in desperate need of a hair cut -- we were just waiting for our new hair trimmers to arrive. The old ones were dull and we soon learned that orders from Amazon that were normally here in 2 days were now taking MUCH longer during the pandemic (especially if the order was deemed "nonessential").
My creative little egg dyers, all ready for the (quiet) holiday:
