Would you like to do something fun with the kid this Easter?
How about making fizzy dyed Easter Eggs?
It is soooo easy and fun, the kids will love the fact that it is fizzy and bubbles away. It not only impressed the kids, I and other adults loved it too.
What you need
1/2 tablespoon of baking soda
Hard-boiled eggs
White vinegar – 1/3 cup per cup
Cups for the eggs
Food dye
Newspaper/baking paper to make sure you don’t have a mess
Tray to put the cups on and to contain the mess
As you can see this is a super fun way to dye your Easter Eggs and one that is interactive and hands-on for the kids. I am sure you and the family enjoy this fun activity.
Enjoy and watch for other Easter Activities on the blog.
Creating Marble Easter Eggs is fun and you get pretty eggs. It is also a fun project to do with the kids this Easter.
Marble Dyed Easter Eggs
What Do you Need to Marble Dye Easter Eggs?

Oil
Food Colouring
Vinegar (for dying the eggs in the fizzy solution)
Bicarbonate Soda (for dying the eggs in the Fizzy solution)
Water
Don’t they look amazing! Marbled Dyed Eggs
Method
Hard Boil your eggs – If you would rather you can blow out the eggs so that you don’t need to boil them and the eggs will be preserved. I used boiled eggs.
Cool down the eggs so they are not hot
Dye the eggs with an overall colour first. You can do this by using my Fizzy Dyed Eggs project
We dyed ours with the fizzy method
Fill a bowl with water and a tablespoon of oil and another colour food colour. We did this for a bit and then also added the food colouring directly to the egg.
Dry off with paper towels after you are finished.
Adding the Marble colour in the water and oil solution
This might not be the way many do this but it worked for us. Give it a go and see what different patterns and differently dyed eggs you can create.

We noticed that some were not holding the colour so adding the dye straight onto the egg helped.

Last year the Easter Bunny did not clean his paws when he came to our house.
I know, it was very rude of him, but we were nice about it and cleaned up the mess.
We told the girls that it was nice enough to get some chocolate and he took the trouble to visit our house.
The girls have remembered this, and tell people every now and then that the Easter Bunny came to our house, and that he left paw prints and daddy had to clean them all up. Poor daddy.
The girls were so taken with the fact that the Easter Bunny came and he gave them chocolate eggs and bunnies.
Now you might say, “What do you mean the Easter Bunny had dirty paws?, well I never!”
Well the girls were so curious about the paw prints that they investigated and wanted to find out where the bunny had been. I left carrots out the night before and they were eaten in the morning, he was a hungry bunny.
So if you want to amaze you little one, paw prints are a great way to do it.
We cut out the image and used it as a stencil to then sprinkle flour on the floor, this was easy to clean up and left the idea that the Easter Bunny got his paws dirty before he came into our house.
As Easter is approaching soon, thought that this idea might be of interest.

The kids were super excited about Easter and the of course the Easter Bunny, otherwise known as E.B from Hop. The twins are now obsessed with the film Hop and are watching it for the fourth or so time as I write this post.

The Easter Bunny and Shaun the Sheep
Mummy and daddy have had hot cross buns for breakfast and daddy tried out his hot chocolate pods that we gave him for Easter. Daddy was super impressed with his present and that the hot chocolate was really tasty. I think we will need to purchase more of these, as with the kids putting their orders in this selection might not last long. Just in case you want to get these pods for a Caffitaly Coffee System, I purchased them from Map Coffee. Not trying to advertise them but as the chocolate pods are hard to find in the supermarket, thought you might want one as well.

Hope you are all have a great Easter! Stay safe and enjoy the family time.
