- food coloring liquid coloring
- shaving cream or Cool Whip
Instructions
- Fill a dish with shaving cream or Cool Whip (use glass or ceramic if you're using shaving cream, as it may discolor metal dishes).
- Add some coordinating drops of different colored food coloring and swirl with a skewer or knife.
- Place some eggs in the dish and roll them around until they're completely coated, making sure the food coloring is making contact with the egg.
- Remove the eggs and place them on a plate. Allow them to sit for 15-20 minutes, then wipe off the cream with a paper towel and enjoy your beautiful, swirly eggs!
Notes
- As soon as your eggs are cleaned up and you've had time to admire them, pop them in an airtight container and return to the fridge. If you used Cool Whip or whipped cream and plan to eat your eggs, enjoy them within 7 days for best results.
- No-mess alternative method for young children - Mix small bowls of Cool Whip with generous amounts of different colors of food coloring. Plop a spoonful of few different colors into a zip-top sandwich bag, add an egg, and seal the bag. Allow kids to gently smoosh and roll the egg in the colors. Set bags aside for 15-20 minutes, then remove the egg and wipe clean to reveal your dyed egg.
