This week, I read this Easter egg dying tip in the latest edition of Family Fun Magazine. It is so practical and creative that I knew immediately it might just change my life. Or at least renew my hope that I'll have an Easter photograph of my children without multi-colored hands.
When dying eggs, place the egg inside a whisk for dipping.
Dip the entire whisk/egg in the cup of dye. Give it a gentle shake to remove any extra dye.
Genius, isn't it?

That's brilliant!
Oh my... I gotta go out and buy 3 whisks this week... that is a GREAT tip!
Dying our eggs on Good Friday so I'll have to give that a try! I saw a cute tip about putting the thick rubber bands around your eggs and then dipping them to make stripes. Thought I'd give that a try too!
AbsoLUTELY genius! Thanks for reading that article! Lol.
That's a great tip! My boys are all teenagers, but still enjoy coloring eggs!
Thanks for hosting!

Oh my goodness! That is awesomely brilliant!!
That IS genius. I love it. Thanks for passing that on.
Great idea...one of thoe {{slap up side the head}} DUH! kind of things! I am going to try it when we do eggs this week!
going to buy another whisk so everyone can have one - what a super smart idea - love it!
Great idea! If only I had little kiddos to dye eggs with!
Thanks for letting me link up today!

That is enormously clever. I must admit, it's many years since I dyed an egg, but I love this neat solution.
Thank you for hosting!
Genius! I am stumbling upon all sorts of great egg-tricks on the net today! Thanks!
That is a great idea!
This is a great idea!!!! I'll use it this year!
I just read that article and loved it. What a clever idea.
OMGsh! That IS a great tip. And a reminder to go get all the stuff for dying eggs before they run out.
Thanks for hosting again!
Great idea! Now the trick is getting the egg out without dropping or cracking it!
Oh that's good. (I still have a few stains on my kitchen table from last years egg dying 'incident'.)
Brilliant!! I'll be bringing my whisk to the egg dying party on Saturday. Here's to an Easter with flesh colored fingers!
I love this idea!
Completely brilliant! We actually painted the eggs with paintbrushes and washable kiddie paint this year. My girls enjoyed that way more than just dipping it.
Multi-colored sharpie markers has transformed my egg decorating too.
BUt this idea sounds great for any age.
Brilliant, I tell ya'!
I have stayed far away from the whole egg-dyeing deal so far because toddlers + dye is just not an activity I wanted to explore.
But now....I may actually attempt it!
Great idea! Sure would make it easier.
Oh, wow! I wish I knew about this one when my kids were smaller. Cool tip!!
AWESOME tip, thanks!! I hate dying eggs for that same reason -- colored hands, clothes, countertops, etc. Those silly bendable hooks they have in the PAAS boxes don't work; the eggs always fall off and crack. :)
HAPPY EASTER!!

I saw that idea too and thought it was great! I'll have to try it this year.
What helps us when dying eggs with 5 small children is to have double batches of colors. I open two egg dying kits each year, and here are no fights over colors, and muc less waiting time.
Also, to keep it cheap, after Easter I buy the kits on clearance. I buy enough to last for several years, for about .25 each.
I read that, too! I am hoping it works for us! {grin}
Wow, that is a COOL tip. We didn't actually do eggs this year {honestly, I kind of forgot} but maybe next week just for fun?
