We got yellow eggs using tumeric; blue eggs using red cabbage; and gorgeous green eggs by mixing a separate dish with part of the yellow/tumeric mixture and part of the blue/cabbage mixture (it turned an odd dark orange in the dish, but the eggs still dyed green). They all came out a little different, some with spots, some pale and uniform.
I was certain the cabbage dye was going to turn the eggs purple, but indeed they dried blue!
I think they are stunningly beautiful (as far as Easter eggs go :) and now we are super excited to color eggs this way each year.
And here is the little pail our guy used for his first ever egg hunt... (assisted by Dad, of course :)
Happy Easter!
Great idea! I'm going to use this next year!
