Whipped Cream MarblEd EASTER Eggs | Natural | Artificial Dye-free | NON-TOXIC

Looking for a fun Easter egg coloring activity? Try marbling eggs with whipped cream, a safe non-toxic and edible alternative to the popular Shaving Cream Easter Eggs. All you need are 3 ingredients along with our natural plant-based Easter dye kit!

INGREDIENTS

Color Kitchen Easter Egg Coloring Kit
12-24 eggs
1 tbsp white vinegar
whipped cream

DIRECTIONS

Hard boil eggs.

Add Easter egg dye packets to small jars.

Add 1 teaspoon of water to each jar, and use the paint brush to mix the color into a paste. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then mix again to ensure the color is well saturated.

Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar into blue and pink/purple dyes. 

Add 1 tablespoon of water into yellow/orange dye.

Add whipping cream to a shallow dish. Spread into an even thin layer.

Add drops of dye around the whipping cream, spaced about 1 inch apart. Use more drops of color for more vibrant eggs, and fewer for a more pastel look.

Use a skewer and draw lines back in forth, leaving a marbled pattern in the whipping cream.

Gently roll eggs over the top of the whipping cream, allowing the color to stick to the eggs. Try not to push the eggs too deeply in the whipping cream. You want mostly dye and less whipping cream to stick to the eggs.

Allow eggs to dry for 30 minutes.

Dip eggs in a bowl of cold water and shake to remove excess whipping cream. If some of the whipping cream sticks, leave it on the eggs to remove later.

Wait 3-4 hours before trying to wipe excess whipped cream off of eggs. If you try right away, the dye will wipe off the eggs along with the whipping cream.

DIPPED EASTER EGGS | NATURAL DYES | PLANT COLORS

Dipped eggs, a simple and stunning technique for naturally dyed easter eggs with plant-based dyes.

MAKES: 12-24 EGGS
Prep Time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Color Kitchen Easter Egg Coloring Kit
12-24 eggs
2 tbsp white vinegar

DIRECTIONS

Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs.  Bring to a boil on high heat. Let the eggs boil for 1 minute, then remove them from heat. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool.

Dry the eggs completely with a towel. 

Empty each color packet into a separate cup. Add ¼ tsp water and blend thoroughly with the brush to dissolve the powder. Leave for a couple of minutes then blend again. Keep mixing until all of the powder has dissolved. Add 1 tbsp white vinegar to the pink/purple dye and the blue dye only (not yellow/orange). Add 2 tbsp water to all and mix.

Hold the eggs on one end and dip other half into the cups of dye. Hold submerged in the dye for a few seconds for deep colors, or quickly for lighter pastels.

Set to dry in an empty egg carton or the tray provided with the Easter kit.

Dip a second time in other dyes for layering of color.

TIP: For clean lines, wrap a strip of masking tape around the center of each egg. Press down firmly so that the dye will not be able to seep in underneath the tape. Once eggs are dry, remove tape,
