We did the tie-dying last year with the those “dye tablets” you dissolve in water. What we did was had a different baggie for each dye color. Take the egg and place it in the baggie and put in just a drop or two of the dye in there also. (Dipping a slim straw into the dye and putting your finger over the top of the straw to drip it into the bag works well.) Hold the baggie closed at the top and “squeeze” the egg around a bit. You can also use two different colors (or more). They looked really cool but my son would tend to not let one color dry completely before using another color. (Then it didn’t always look the best, lol!)

Anyway, I look forward to trying the paints and papers towels this time. The banding sounds really neat too! I have a bag of all different sizes of rubber bands - that ought to give it a nice touch.

I think the kids will enjoy the painting instead this year. Hmm… Spring break starts tomorrow … maybe we’ll have to “paint” our eggs then!
