10 Insights Kids Have While Dyeing Easter Eggs

Before I embraced motherhood, I had a somewhat idealistic vision of coloring Easter eggs with my future children—each of them dressed in pristine white attire, gently dipping organic eggs into vibrant, natural dyes. I even fancied a yard full of chickens (imagine that!). However, after experiencing this tradition firsthand with my little ones, I completely understand why many parents opt for plastic eggs instead. The concept of dyeing eggs seems far more charming until you’re in the thick of it.

If you’re planning to dye eggs this Easter, here’s some advice from someone who’s learned through trial and error: do it outdoors, preferably in a secluded area, and ensure everyone is dressed for chaos. Stock up on paper towels and perhaps some calming aids. Expect that most eggs will end up cracked, none will resemble the Pinterest-perfect creations you envisioned, and you’ll likely end up with a collection of murky hues rather than bright pastels. The truth is, children perceive egg dyeing quite differently than adults do.

Here are ten thoughts that run through kids’ minds during the egg-dyeing process:

1. First and foremost – eggs are excellent for throwing.
2. If this dye looks good on eggs, it will surely look delightful in my hair, on my clothes, on the walls, and on Mommy’s newly upholstered chairs. Our home will be so much prettier adorned with my pink and purple handprints.
3. Ugh, Mommy, these eggs smell awful! I can’t stand it!
4. Wait, the last blue egg I saw had chocolate inside! I need to crack this one open and find it. Where’s the chocolate, Mommy? I’m so upset!
5. Can I smash this egg on my brother’s head? Like, really hard?
6. So, red and yellow make orange, but what about red, yellow, green, blue, pink, and purple? Why do my eggs look like they belong in a Halloween display? This is a disaster!
7. I can’t stand hardboiled eggs! Mommy, please tell me the Easter Bunny is bringing me something better than these! I’ve been so good! (Cue the tears.)
8. Wow, these colors look delicious! I bet the red one tastes like cherries. Let me taste it. YUCK! It tastes like vinegar! I’m going to be sick!
9. Eighteen eggs plus six cups of dye means we’re done in three minutes. Can I have the iPad now? Watching toy unboxings is way more fun than egg dyeing.
10. Jumping in muddy puddles is great, but wouldn’t it be more fun to splash in rainbow puddles right here inside? I cannot contain my excitement! I’m pouring all these colorful liquids on the kitchen floor. This is the best!

Happy Easter to everyone!
