Cheep, Cheep, Cheap?

Hello one & all...seems to me that we pay for convenience so often that a lot of the time we don't even realize we are doing it. Take egg coloring, for example. It costs pennies to make your own...and has the added benefit of exposing your child to primary and secondary colors. Super easy, bright colors. Doesn't get any cheaper - perfect!

Egg Color

1 TBSP white vinegar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
20 drops food coloring (we used 16- cuz', yeah, I am that cheap!- and they turned out great!)

Use coffee cups (resist stains better than plastic) and mix them up. Can make cool colors like teal and purple too! The longer you leave the eggs, the darker and richer the colors...

Make and Enjoy! Blessings, Eve
