Cool Whip Easter Eggs

Published on by Alissa1 Comment

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 8oz container cool whip per 1 dozen eggs
  • Hard boiled eggs
  • Food coloring of choice*
  • Container(s) for cool whip**
  • Something to stir the cool whip & dye together.
  • The food coloring can stain so if you want to avoid that, you’ll need gloves
  • Paper towels or a few towels you don’t mind possibly getting stained.

*I used gel food but powder & liquid food coloring works just as well.
** Casserole dishes or aluminum pans work great!

Directions:

  1. Add cool whip to containers of choice ( if you’re planning on doing individual colors you’ll want a few small containers but if you’re planning on tie-dying the eggs then I recommend the casserole dishes.
  2. Add food coloring to your cool whip & mix with a knife or skewer to leave a swirl design.
  3. Roll your eggs into the cool whip and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Gently wipe & dab the cool whip off the eggs. If this is too messy you can fill a medium sized bowl with cool water and dip the eggs in the water to rinse, then set aside to dry.

It has become one of our traditions. It is always fun to see who comes up with the most creative decorating ideas. We have done it all………..from dyes to applicators, paints to sparkles. It’s fun but with young children it can be messing and time consuming. I recently found something that was amazing to me! I was so fascinated and excited to find something so easy and, with barely any mess. Are you intrigued…?

 

Hardboiled eggs and rice. No, seriously. This is SO easy! You start with room temperature eggs that have been hardboiled. Pictures follow directions.

  • 1 plastic container with a lid for each color of food coloring you will use. Make sure the container is large enough so the hardboiled egg  will be able to roll freely inside the container
  • ½ cup of white uncooked rice for each container
  • 1 box of brightly colored food dye in various colors
  • An empty egg carton for each dozen of eggs that are dyed

Choose your colors. Apply 6 drops of food dye to each container. Place the lid on the container and shake until you have all the rice coated well with the color you have chosen. Place the hardboiled egg inside and snap on the lid. Shake and roll the egg (gently) until you have reached the desired color. It is that easy! Experiment with different colors, stickers, etc………..When finished with plastic containers just rinse with cold water before washing them. I have never found anything easier or mess free!dying easter eggs with rice and food coloring, dying easter eggs, easter eggs, food coloring easter eggs, dying easter eggs with rice, homemade easter eggs
