Most people have their go to way to colour eggs for Easter.
I grew up with only ever colouring brown eggs because that is what we had, brown layers. The method was always warm water with vinegar and food colouring and you move the egg around with a spoon until it was coloured and then place it on a cookie rack to dry. The bonus was always if one of the shells cracked, the food colouring would seep to the egg white, so when it was peeled there would still be some colour, haha. Then came the shrink wrap egg designs which I think are now extinct.
There are so many more options and ideas when it comes to egg colouring now. Some bazaar ones online. The one that used a bath bomb in a toilet, that one we will quickly skip over and run away from, haha.
I can say I did try the food colouring in shaving cream and didn’t find the best results, but I might have been too hasty to remove the egg.

Now with the eggs coloured it is always fun when the Easter Bunny uses some of those in an Easter Egg Hunt. I remember how cool that was when I would see that the bunny used some of our eggs too.
There are some tricks that can help egg hunting to be less stressful for parents. One of the ideas I thought was good is to give each child a colour to search for. “George, you are gathering only yellow eggs and Suzie, your colour is green”.
