Ingredients
- White eggs (real or plastic)
- Food coloring or natural dyes (beets, turmeric, etc.)

Instructions
- Gather all your materials to ensure that you have everything within reach.

- Mix food coloring or natural dyes with a teaspoon of white vinegar and about 1 cup of water in separate cups or bowls.
- Dip a spoon or tongs into the dye and carefully lower the egg into the liquid.
- Watch as the egg changes color; leave in dye for 5-10 minutes for deeper color or remove earlier for lighter shades.
- Remove the egg and place it on newspapers or paper towels to dry.
- Overlap different colors by re-dipping the egg in various dye bowls for a swirl effect.
- Keep turning the egg to blend colors softly.
