Crayon Resist Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs

When you buy an egg dyeing kit, it usually comes with a clear wax crayon.  We just always colored our eggs with regular crayons growing up. They are just as dye resistant and the wax crayon that comes in the kit, but with more bright colors.

This also works if you make your own dye with food coloring.

We tried to use a whisk to dye the eggs.  
We hated it.  It was hard to get the eggs into the whisk.  
When we tried to pull it out of the whisk, 
we had to pry it out covering our fingers in dye.  
Then, the egg had stripes where it sat on the whisk.

I have mixed feelings about the egg drying racks we bought.  
The dye seems to run off the egg and pool in the bottom. 
The egg just sat in the dye and didn't dry.
