We live in Florida, and each year we try to hide traditionally dyed (with storebought kit like PAAS) easter eggs.  But the dye comes off in the kids' hands making a yucky mess.  I believe this is because the weather is so humid -- it never happened to me growing up in New York.  Anyway, does anyone know a way to dye "real" eggs for Easter so the colors will stay on?  We have followed package directions closely.  Also, we want to be able to eat the eggs afterwards, so no toxic coatings, if possible.  Trying to avoid those plastic eggs, plastic egg wraps, etc! Thank you!

I used to live in Bermuda and it was extremely humid. I had to use 1/4 teaspoon more vinegar.

My science class did the same project a few years ago. I suggest suspending the egg within a sphere, try making wings to slow its fall. I dont think whether it is a trianlge or not will really affect its streght to much. Good luck

Well my favorite Easter treats are seeing all my family, in-laws too! Today i made Easter dinner :) it was great. Then, it is usually sunny on Easter, i like to go out into the woods, and enjoy what god gave us. I also like the Easter basket my mom has made me for the last 25 years. my guilty pleasure. Then at the end of the day i like to thank god for all he has given us. (actually i do that every night, but hey!) Hope you had a fantastic Easter yourself and got to enjoy all the wonderful things about it as well. What is your favorite treat? if you don't mind me asking! Have a good day!

1.  There are some additives used in cake mixxes that make a better product. I do not think that color should be added to things. Some people are allergic to the colors. (my husband and my dog) There are natural colors that can be used. Beet juice for instance for red.There are natural flavorings that can be used. \n2. Some additives are preservatives and they do make food last longer and prevent food poisoning. There has been research into ADD and ADHD being affected by food additives, particularly colors. \n3. Some people are allergic to MSG ised to enhance flavor. (me) it is the cause of "Chinese Restaurant" headache\n4. On the whole they are not potentially harmful, but I think we could use far fewer.We could stick to natural ones.

Really this question should be in home and garden.  He should use an oil based paint.  water based will likely peal off.

1.As many napkins as you want\n2. 1 sock\n3. 2 rubber bands\n4. Packaging peanuts\n\nWhen I was in elementry school we had to do the same thing. First thing first, is we wrapped egg in a little nest of napkins that covered the egg completely, then I put a rubber band around the egg and the napkins so the napkins wouldn't fall off. After that I put some packaging peanuts at the bottom of the sock, put the egg in, then put more packaging peanuts ontop. I wrapped the rest of the sock around it all and put another rubbberband around it. It worked pretty well, the egg didn't break =n.n=

I've seen them in my local Lewiscraft.  You have to paint them yourself, though, so don't forget the gold spraypaint! :)

Everyone must drop a egg from a height and not break the egg. All you can use is rubberbands and straws. So you cover the egg with straws (2 or 3 layers) and tie the ends with the rubberbands .

Wave your magic wand silly, that's how ya do it.. How about if ya drop-kick a vatful of blue dye on TOP of the chicken (collect their livers first) THEN douse them in some chocolate type liqueur THEN douse the whole mess with some of those huuuuge long matches ya use to light fireplaces........That'll work. yeah

they call them "easter eggs" because they're hidden there by developers. word 97 had a cool hidden pinball game, and i think it was excel that had a pretty cool (but primitive) flight simulator.\n\ni found the pinball game on teh site i linked to below. here are the steps if you happen to have word 97 (might work in more recent versions, i haven't tested).\n\ngoogle "microsoft easter eggs" and you'll find more. have fun!\n\nOpen a new document \n2. Type "Blue" \n3. Select word \n4. Go to Format -> Font \n5. Choose Font Style Bold, Color Blue \n6. Type " " (space) after word "Blue" \n7. Go to Help -> About \n8. Ctrl-Shift-Left click the Word icon/banner \n9. Use Z for left flipper, M for right flipper, and ESC to exit

Last time I did this, we made a basket kind of thing an place the egg inside it. Remaing straws we pulled it to make it long n tied it to the egg(in the basket). Instead of throwing the egg, we slowly release the straws (straws act like a rope) so the egg reached ground safely. just make a simple catching platform in your case. Concetrate your resource for the rope and basket. \n\nThis exercise want us to think outside the box.Hope this help.

The one you mentioned is a good one. What about eggs grown under heat and eggs grown in a blanket and which one hatches. I won the science fair with this one. It's very original.

Because thought the easter bunny looks real good and chocolaty, we have found it is only a hollow shell.  \n\nJesus, one the other hand is what fills the hollow shell that was once me.

Is this a flyer to be distributed in the store? Assuming you have to keep the same colors, why not try putting foods on front that represent spring. No heavy meats and starches that often represent winter. \n\nThink salads, finger foods, sparkling grape juice, fruit, mini sandwiches. Picnic, garden parties. \n\nHopefully it'll put your customers in this frame of mind.

hm.  Usually the key to a successful egg drop is utilizing air resistance - like, for example, getting a parachute to slow it down.  \nThat said - if you can't use anything parachute related (balloon, cloth, plastic baggie, paper, etc being off-limits) then I would recommend thinking about making some kind of inner/outer structure to absorb the shock of the fall - like build a box for the egg in the middle, then some space connected with toothpicks and then a larger box.... this is hard w/out drawing a diagram... think of those bubble within a bubble pictures.  \n\nThe problem with making it compact; over 8 meters it will hit the ground harder and without padding it will probably break. \n\nbut... make sure to make it balanced though because another common problem is having a good design and then the darn thing flips over as it sails down and the egg breaks.\n\nLet us know how it goes!
