Dye your eggs while you boil them

The next time you boil eggs add a few drops of food coloring to the water! When you open your fridge you will be able to tell which eggs are cooked at a glance. Works well for Easter eggs too. Use the base color as a background for other fun add-ons like stickers, jewels, or even melted crayon shavings!!! Now your toddler can enjoy decorating eggs with the worry and mess of dye kits.

HOW TO:
Place cold eggs into a saucepan. Top with enough water to cover the eggs. Add a splash of white vinegar and several drops of food coloring. Cover and simmer for 5 full minutes. Turn off heat and leave covered pan on the burner for 10 minutes. Remove eggs and place immediately into ice cold water for another 5 minutes. Decorate and store in fridge. :)
