Coloring Easter eggs is a fun activity with your children to enjoy spring break and the Easter holiday. It’s a tradition we all grew up doing, but unfortunately, most of us did it in a very wrong way. I remember my parents buying us eggs and food coloring supplies, thinking they were perfectly safe. But the truth is, they’re full of chemicals, sugar, and harmful ingredients. So why not offer a healthier lifestyle for your kids? That’s why I decided to share with you simple, natural recipes and safe ways to prepare edible colors at home to color Easter eggs.
DIY: 12 Creative Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs
1. Red and pink colored Easter eggs
- Red and pink natural colors are made out of beets.
- So you’ll need to cut 2 whole beets into cubes, add them to 2 cups of water and 2 tbsp. of vinegar.
- Boil the beets until the water becomes red, and then reduce the heat and simmer until the beets become tender.
- Take the beets’ liquid, and let it cool down before you use it to color the previously boiled eggs.
2. Purple and blue colored Easter eggs
