Our Squirrelings got some very nice colour effects with those. The only problem we had this year was that the boiled eggs had a very strong smell (as in P.U.)--we couldn't identify just one rotten culprit, so we decided to decorate all of them anyway and just not eat them.Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-59835652844741927652007-04-05T17:57:00.000-05:002007-04-05T17:57:00.000-05:00We have several kits which we have bought for 50-7...We have several kits which we have bought for 50-75% off at discount stores <I>after</I> Easter and they work just fine (in other words, they have a good shelf life!).

I tried turmeric and onion peels one year. Too much trouble. I bought a package of egg dye last year after the holiday, when it was super cheap. So we'll use that this year. Besides, there's something about those silly strips of printed cardboard you roll up to nest the egg--and those bendy copper wire egg dippers!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-81915095809721919122007-04-05T13:17:00.000-05:002007-04-05T13:17:00.000-05:00If you reboil the eggs the dye will fade and littl...If you reboil the eggs the dye will fade and little ones dye all over again.
