Dye Eggs

It doesn't have to be Easter to dye eggs. Have some fun coloring pictures on the eggs with crayons then dye them in a mixture of vinegar and a couple of drops of food coloring. The longer you leave the egg in the dye, the darker the color. Experiment by wrapping string around the egg to get different looks.
